Plates
Follow the IVD assay manufacturer's instructions for use on the selection of plates. If not
specified, follow these guidelines when choosing plates:
• When using uncovered plates, use black opaque plates to reduce photobleaching.
• For heated assays, use CoStar ® Thermowell ® 96-well or 384-well, thin-wall polycarbonate,
model P plates.
• For unheated assays, use a 96-well plate or a 384-well plate with an overall height no
greater than 0.75 inches (19 mm).
CAUTION: The heater block or plate can be hot and can cause personal
injury when touched. Use care when you are working with it and
do not touch it.
