SpecPlate uses the same SLAS-compliant 96-well format and is compatible with the same plate readers. The only difference is the sample volume: <strong>36 \u00b5l instead of 25\u2013370 \u00b5l<\/strong> for the UV-Star.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"innome-faq__item\"><p class=\"innome-faq__q\">What does \u201cfixed path length\u201d mean in SpecPlate?<\/p><p class=\"innome-faq__a translation-block\">With standard microplates, the path length depends on the volume added. With SpecPlate, the chamber is geometrically defined\u2014the path length is <strong>constant regardless of the volume<\/strong>. This significantly improves reproducibility.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"innome-faq__item\"><p class=\"innome-faq__q\">Why is the meniscus error particularly relevant in UV measurements?<\/p><p class=\"innome-faq__a translation-block\">UV absorption at 260\/280 nm is systematically distorted by the meniscus. This effect is particularly pronounced in small volumes of less than 100 \u00b5l. SpecPlate eliminates it through <strong>fully enclosed measurement chambers<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"innome-faq__item\"><p class=\"innome-faq__q\">Which disc drives are compatible?<\/p><p class=\"innome-faq__a\">All UV\/Vis instruments with a measurement range of 230\u2013800 nm and standard 96-well SBS\/SLAS format. Compatible with <strong>BMG Labtech, Molecular Devices, BioTek\/Agilent und Tecan<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"innome-faq__item\"><p class=\"innome-faq__q\">Is SpecPlate more expensive than the Greiner UV-Star?<\/p><p class=\"innome-faq__a\">SpecPlate reduces overall plate consumption through internal 4-fold replication.
