Microplate wells are commonly made from materials like polystyrene, polypropylene, or other polymers. These materials are selected for their chemical resistance and compatibility with various laboratory applications.

Yes, most microplate wells are designed to be compatible with automated pipetting systems, plate readers, and other laboratory automation equipment.

Microplate wells are suitable for ELISA assays, drug screening, molecular biology studies, sample storage, and high-throughput screening.

Select based on factors like the number of wells (96, 384, or 1536), material type, well shape, and whether the wells are flat, round, or V-bottom. Consider the specific assay requirements for chemical compatibility and detection methods.

Some microplate wells can be reused depending on the material and the application. Proper cleaning and sterilization protocols must be followed if reusing them.

Yes, many microplate wells can be sterilized using autoclaving or other sterilization methods, but it depends on the material. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific instructions.

Yes, microplate wells are available in clear, white, and black finishes. The choice depends on the assay—clear for optical clarity, white for luminescence assays, and black for fluorescence applications.

Yes, lids or adhesive covers are often available to prevent contamination, reduce evaporation, and maintain sample integrity.

Volume capacity varies depending on the plate format and well depth. For instance, 96-well plates typically hold 100–400 µL per well, while 384-well plates hold 20–100 µL per well.

Handle microplate wells carefully to avoid contamination. Use compatible pipette tips and equipment to prevent damage to the wells during sample handling.
