Microplates
The FlexStation 3 instrument can accommodate standard 6-well to
384-well microplates and strip wells. When reading absorbance at
wavelengths below 340 nm, special UV-transparent, disposable or quartz
microplates allowing transmission of the deep UV spectra must be used.
Not all manufacturers’ microplates are the same with regard to design,
materials, or configuration. Temperature uniformity within the
microplate can vary depending on the type of microplate used.
Microplates supported for use in this reader are:
• 6-well, 12-well, 24-well, 48-well, 96-well, and 384-well standard
formats
• 96-well half area
• 96-well and 384-well low volume
Read plate formats not already loaded as defaults in the SoftMax Pro
Software can be added by manually entering the dimensions using the
Plate Editor in the software.
The instrument can accommodate standard 6-well, 12-well, 24-well,
48-well, 96-well, and 384-well microplates. In Flex or other assay types
which you intend on using fluidic integration you can only use 96-well or
384-well formatted assay plates.
CAUTION! Do not use parts and accessories that are not authorized by,
specified by, or provided by Molecular Devices. Using unauthorized parts
can damage the instrument.
