Clear Flat-Bottom Immuno Nonsterile 96-Well Plates, 330μL, 2 HB - FAQs

What can I use as an alternative to Clear Flat-Bottom Immuno Nonsterile 96-Well Plates with the Immunlon 2 HB surface treatment (Cat. No. 3455)?

Depending on your experimental needs, the following Clear Flat-Bottom Immuno Nonsterile 96-Well Plates can be used as an alternative:

• MediSorp surface treatment (Cat. No. 467320) - This is the closest to Cat. No. 3455 in terms of hydrophilicity.
• MaxiSorp surface treatment (Cat. Nos. 439454, 442404, 456537) - This is the preferred surface for many applications (especially if coating an antibody).
• Enhanced binding surface treatment (Cat. No. 95029330) - This is hydrophilic, recommended for antibody sandwich assays.

Are your Thermo Scientific 8-Well Strip Caps for Immuno Standard Modules compatible with all Nunc MicroWell 96-Well Microplates and Nunc Immuno 96-Well Plates?

Our Thermo Scientific 8-Well Strip Caps for Immuno Standard Modules were designed to provide a positive seal for flat and round bottom wells of our Nunc MicroWell 96-Well Microplates and Nunc Immuno 96-Well Plates.
8-Well Strip Caps for Immuno Standard Modules are not compatible with C or V bottom wells of the Nunc Microwell 96-Well Microplates and Nunc Immuno 96-Well Plates.

What is the difference between a certified and an uncertified immunodiagnostic plate, e.g., Cat. No. 439454 vs. 442404?

There is no difference in the manufacturing process. Certified plates are performance tested (using an antibody binding protocol) during quality control, whereas uncertified plates are not. This test is expensive for us to perform, so we offer the uncertified version at cost savings customers for whom antibody binding testing results are not critical.
