The 96-well cell culture surfaces BRANDplates are available in the following four different plate surfaces: cellGrade, cellGrade plus, cellGrade premium, and inertgrade. The cell culture microplates are easily recognizable through the use of the orange embossed alphanumeric color coding for the 96-well standard plates. Standard 96-Well cellGrade Cell Culture Surface Microplates The cellGrade 96-well plates are […]
96-Well Plate Footprint Dimensions – ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 (R2012)
96-Well Plate Footprint Dimensions Microplate Standard Overview The standard established by the former Society for Biomedical Sciences (SBS) now the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) defines the dimensional requirements of the footprint of a microplate as specified in the American National Standards covering these microplates. This standard was devised to describe the […]

The History Of The Microplate
The First Microplate The well plate or microplate was created in 1951 by Hungarian physician, scientist, and inventor Dr. Gyula Takátsy, who hand-machined 6 rows of 12 “wells” out of Poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) or more commonly know by its trade name as Lucite. PMMA was developed in 1928 in various labs by multiple chemists and became commercially […]
