Which advantages do the black Eppendorf PP Microplates offer?
Plates made from black material are especially well suited for fluorescence assays (e.g. PicoGreen®). The black wells prevent “cross talk” between wells and reduce background signals. The black Eppendorf PP Microplates feature the unique OptiTrack Matrix, the first technology to allow for fast and easy well identification in black plates. Due to carefully selected materials, the plates have very low autofluorescence. The superior signal-to-noise ratio contributes to the increased sensitivity of fluorescence assays (see Application Note no. 203).
