Standard and Small Volume™ LoBase plates are made from virgin polystyrene resin and molded without the bottom of the plate.

• Smaller working volume reduces sample usage
• Chimney-well design helps prevent cross-contamination
• Virgin polystyrene construction
• Molded without a bottom

The Small Volume format features far smaller working volumes than typical 384-well plates, reducing sample usage while avoiding the instrument compatibility issues introduced by 1536-well plates. The LoBase format features a chimney-like arrangement of wells in which each well stands on its own to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination. Chimney wells also feature individual rims that rise above the surface of the plate to aid in sealing by cap mat, thermal sealer, or adhesive sealer.
