Frequently Asked Questions
â–¸Are Chrom Tech ELISA plates compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Yes. All 96- and 384-well plates follow SBS/ANSI footprint standards, ensuring seamless compatibility with robotic platforms, washers, and microplate readers.
What is the advantage of using clear polystyrene for ELISA?
Crystal-clear polystyrene provides excellent optical clarity and low background, making it ideal for absorbance-based assays where accurate optical density (OD) readings are essential.
Can these plates be surface-treated for higher protein binding?
Yes. Many plates are available with high-binding or medium-binding surface treatments to improve antigen or antibody adherence during ELISA workflows.
When should I choose a 96-well versus a 384-well plate?
Choose a 96-well plate for standard ELISA kits, routine colorimetric assays, or workflows requiring larger working volumes. Choose a 384-well plate for high-throughput screening or assays that require lower reagent consumption.
Are Chrom Tech ELISA plates sterile?
Most plates are non-sterile by default, but sterile packaging options are available depending on the specific SKU and application needs.
Do the plates support both endpoint and kinetic ELISA measurements?
Yes. The flat-bottom geometry and optical consistency allow accurate OD readings for both endpoint and time-based kinetic assays.
