PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide multi-well plates and platforms that comprise a layer having low fluorescence and high transmittance. SOLUTION: In the multi-well plates, a layer having cycloolefin copolymer, low fluorescence and high transmittance is heat-welded to a polymer platform, and the layer generates fluorescence of 400-200% or less comparing with fused silica of a thickness of 150 μm in exciting wavelength of 300-400 nm and light emission wavelength of 300-800 nm. The platform is especially appropriate for fluorescence measurement. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The invention provides for a detector assembly, fiber assembly (204) and screening system for optical measurements. The invention includes a method of simultaneously measuring at least two optical properties of emitted light from at least one sample in a plurality of addressable wells (206) of a multiwell plate. The method including: aligning the wells of the plate to a plurality of ball lenses (205), directing electromagnetic radiation from an appropriate light source (201) coaxially through the symmetry axis of each ball lens, and detecting emitted light focused by the ball lenses from the sample.
Abstract:
The invention provides for multi-well plates and platforms that comprise a layer of having low fluorescence and high transmittance. These multi-well plates and platforms are particularly well suited for fluorescent measurements.
