Agilent Technologies
31 Jul 2023

In this application note, Agilent Technologies introduces the multifunctional Agilent Cell Culture and Imaging microplates, providing high-resolution imaging with low autofluorescence. These plates support live cell imaging, fixation, immunostaining, and fluorescence detection assays. The thin polystyrene film bottom offers favorable imaging characteristics, and the tissue culture surface treatment enhances cell attachment and proliferation. Available in 96- and 384-well formats, these plates meet ANSI/SLAS standards and offer utility across research applications.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Plate ProcessingAutomated plate processing is used in microplate technologies for high-throughput, speed and efficiency. Plate processing systems include microplate handlers for moving plates, heat sealers, stackers and carousels for storage, retrieval and delivery, microplate washers and piercers. Useful features of plate processors include walk-away automation, compatibility and easy integration with microplate systems.Fluorescence Based AssayFluorescence based assays are widely used in life science research and high-throughput screening to measure a broad range of cellular activities.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.
