Well Profile
The well profile is a critical aspect in a 96 well microplate. Different well shapes are available for each application.
U-Bottom
The “U” describes the round bottom shape. U-bottom microplates are ideally suited for agglutination tests.
- No sharp corners to facilitate easy and residue-free pipetting
- Suitable for +/- analyses
V-Bottom
The “V” stands for the conically tapered well bottom. These microplates are ideally suited for applications in which the entire sample volume must be pipetted off.
- For precise pipetting
- Ideally suited for the storage of samples
- Suitable for +/- analyses
F-Bottom / Standard (ST)
The “F” refers to the flat well bottom. This well type is ideal for precise optical measurements. The measuring light source is not deflected by the well profile.
- Excellent optical properties
- For precise optical measurements
- For microscopic applications (bottom reading)
F-Bottom / Chimney Well
The standard flat bottom microplate has the same well profile as the chimney well microplate. The difference from the standard plate is the chimney-like arrangement of the wells. Each well stands on its own. Therefore the risk of sample carryover and cross contamination is minimised.
