This product was a little difficult for me to find, but I like it a lot now. I used the black colored plates for the luciferase assay.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Luciferase assay

Starting Material

Cultured mammalian cells

Tips

I use the promega luciferase assay

Works well for promega luciferase reporter assay. I recommend this for least background and recommend highly for multiple applications resulting in lower background fluorescence and enabling readings down to 340 nm.

Summary

The Good

No background.

The Bad

Maybe a little expensive.

The Bottom Line

Opaque walls to prevent well-to-well crosstalk. Optically clear flat well bottom permits direct microscopic viewing. Can be used for both top and bottom reading instruments.
