Can I use Nunc White 384-Well Microplates for fluorescent assays?
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.
Do you offer Nunc Microplate Lids for the Nunc Black or White 384-Well Microplates?
We offer Nunc Microplate Lids: Cat. No. 448143, that fit both the 384-well microplates and the 1,536-well microplates.
Why do you offer Nunc 384-Well Black or White Microplates when the cells cannot be observed using an inverted light microscope?
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.
