UV/VIS Spectroscopy in Microplates UV-Star, μClear, MICROLON and CELLSTAR

19 Feb 2024

Ultraviolet-visible (UV/VIS) spectroscopy is a classical analytical method for determining the chemical constitution of a substance and its concentration in aqueous solution. UV/VIS spectroscopy is usually conducted in quartz glass cuvettes. However, cuvettes do not provide sufficient throughput when dealing with large amounts of samples, and microplates can be used to speed up work. In this application note from Greiner Bio-One, learn about how transparent microplates (CELLSTAR®, MICROLON) or microplates with a clear film bottom (μClear®, UV-Star®) are frequently used in UV/VIS spectroscopy. UV/VIS is a subclass of spectroscopy which uses visible light and adjacent near ultraviolet (UV) ranges for the determination of the concentrations and the characterization of dissolved substances.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
