SCREENSTAR: A 1536 Well Microplate for High-Content & High Throughput Screening

SCREENSTAR is a microplate for advanced high-content and high-throughput screening. Manufactured entirely of cycloolefin, an innovative resin with advanced optical properties, the SCREENSTAR microplate features a black pigmented frame with a 190 μm ultra-clear film bottom.

Combining excellent optical features with high-quality surfaces for cell culture and biochemical assays, the microplate design facilitates use of high magnification objectives. This combined with a low working distance, ideally suited make them suitable for fully automated screening systems.

In contrast to classical standard high-throughput screening applications which are based on biochemical assays, HCS permits the observation of cell behaviour at the cellular level. High-content screening can reveal cell reactions which are not detected when concentrating on single enzyme-catalysed reactions.
