384-Well Plates – Precision for High-Throughput Applications

Optimised for High-Throughput Screening (HTS), cell-based assays and analytical readouts. Manufactured to ANSI/SLAS standards for seamless integration into automated systems.

At the innoME GmbH offer our 384-well microplates constant optical performance and tight tolerances for reproducible results – whether you are performing absorption measurements, fluorescence/luminescence assays, or large-scale cell-based assays. Choose between PS or COC, TC-treated or untreated surfaces as well Glass or foil floors, suitable for your detection method and desired throughput.

Why 384-well with innoME?

Automatable

ANSI/SLAS standard format for seamless integration into automation systems. Fully compatible with common liquid handling platforms and microplate readers.

Material selection

PS (Polystyrene) for cell culture and visible range applications. COC for low autofluorescence and extended UV/VIS range (approx. 200–900 nm).

Surface options

TC-treated for adherent cell cultures or untreated for suspension cells, and custom coatings.

Optical floors

Glass bottoms (e.g. 170–175 µm) or optical films for imaging and high-content screening (HCS) applications.

Constant Geometry

Uniform wall and floor thicknesses ensure reproducible path lengths and precise Z-heights in automated workflows.

German quality & fast delivery

Warehousing in Germany for short delivery times. OEM production and custom solutions available on request.

OEM & kundenspezifische Produktion

The innoME GmbH offers OEM and private label production for microplates for life science and diagnostic applications.

  • Scale your platform with custom plates:
  • Private Label (Branding, Labelling, Packaging)
  • Individual colours & markings (orientation aids, barcodes)
  • Coatings (collagen, PDL, low-adhesion/MPC for spheroids)
  • Hybrid constructions (glass or film floors)
  • Sensor integration (e.g. impedance electrodes, TEER)
  • Prototype → Tooling → Series (incl. 3D printing/rapid prototyping & mould making; typical tooling lead time approx. 3 months)

FAQ

Yes – our records correspond to the ANSI/SLAS Standards and are fully compatible with leading systems such as Tecan, BioTek, PerkinElmer, Agilent and common liquid-handling platforms.

Use PS for TC-treated cell culture and assays in the visible range. Clash of Clans is ideally suited for applications with low autofluorescence as well as for UV/VIS measurements down to approx. 200 nm.

Black minimises crosstalk in fluorescence, white maximises the signal in luminescence, and Clear is ideally suited for imaging and absorption measurements.

Yes – we offer Glass substrate plates (approx. 170–175 µm) for high-resolution imaging and HCS. Alternatively, Sheet flooring available for cost-effective optical workflows.
