BRAND® ImmunoGrade™ Microplates (tradename BRANDplates®) are an ideal choice for modern research methods in all the important fields of life science requiring high-quality disposables.  BRAND® has developed state-of-the-art production facilities in Germany to apply their decades of experience in premium quality molding of lab plastic consumables, from pipette tips to volumetric plasticware to cuvettes, to the challenges of microplate design. Plates are designed to minimize cross-contamination, ensure excellent recovery, and offer many options in color, well-count, surface-treatment, and well-shape.  

Applications

Ideal for immobilization of immunoglobulin G (IgG).  With “high binding” surfaces intended for: 

• Chemiluminescent immunoassay antibody testing, an increasingly important diagnostic method for viral antibodies, including COVID-19
• ELISA,
• Solid phase immunoassays.

Features 

• Well bottoms are provided in four shapes: 

• Round (U-bottom) - Round bottom plates have no edges and are suitable for stirring and washing of samples. This bottom shape is used for agglutination and other assays requiring these tasks.
• Flat (F-bottom) - Flat bottom plates are designed for precise optical measurements. Useful for many applications, including cell culture of adherent cell types.
• Conical (V-bottom) - Conical bottom plates are maximized for sample recovery after centrifugation, precipitation assays, and storage applications.
• Curved (C-bottom) - The curved bottom is a flat bottom with curved edges. By combining the advantages of round and flat bottom plates, better sample mixing is obtained with precise optical measurements for immunological assays.
