Choose The Right Assay Plate for Your Experiment

Transcreener® HTS Assays rely on direct immunodetection of nucleotides with a far-red readout in a simple mix-and-read format.  The assays are available in three different detection modes, fluorescence polarization (FP), fluorescence intensity (FI), and time-resolved Forster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET).  A good microplate reader and the right choice of plates to differentiate specific signal versus background signal or “noise” is crucial to the success of these assays.

To achieve the best results be sure to:

  • Use polystyrene, non-binding plates
  • Make sure the plate has the correct working volume
  • Use black plates for FP & FI
  • Use white plates for TR-FRET

FP & FI Assay Plates

384-Well Low Volume Black Assay Plates

4514 Corning 384-Well Assay Plate Black

Corning® 384-well black plates are a great fit for Transcreener FP and FI assays. They feature low working volume to conserve precious enzyme. BellBrook Labs recommends a final volume of 20 µL for these plates. Black plates absorb light and reduce background as well as well-to-well cross talk. Square well tops enable easier robotic handling, while round bottoms minimize trapped air and provide better assay Z'. Polystyrene non-binding services (NBS) is Corning's proprietary treatment which limits protein binding at low concentrations. The microplate is non-sterile and comes without a lid. However, for long incubation periods, BellBrook Labs recommends covering your sample wells to reduce evaporation.
