384 Well White Plate, Non-Treated Surface, Non-Sterile, Pack of 25

Nunc White 384-Well Microplates can be used for fluorescent applications, but background fluorescence will be much higher compared to Nunc Black 384-Well Microplates.
We recommend the white microplates for scintillation and luminescent detection systems, in which the reflective properties of the microplate enhance the signal without producing any endogenous background signal.

We offer Nunc Microplate Lids: Cat. No. 448143, that fit both the 384-well microplates and the 1,536-well microplates.

We offer Nunc Black or White 384-Well microplates that are intended for use in conjunction with 384-well microplate luminometers and fluorometers that have excitation and detection systems located above the plate. Due to the opaque quality of these microplates, all detection systems must rely on either luminescent or fluorescent reagents, such as viability stains that report cell activity and membrane integrity.

Opaque plates can only be used on “top reader” instruments, which detect (or, in fluorescence mode, excite and detect) from above the plate. Readers that detect from underneath the plate (or imaging systems) use optical-bottom plates, which have a black or white upper well structure and a transparent (polystyrene film or optical coverglass) bottom.
