Microplate Lids

Minimizing Edge Effects

Our patented assay and storage microplate lids significantly reduce edge effects to improve data quality. All lids are reusable and autoclavable.

We made our proprietary microplate lids from stainless steel with a rubber gasket that sits around the top outer edge of a plate. The weight of the lid allows the gasket to form a strong barrier around the plate, virtually eliminating edge effects. 

Plate lids are designed for our robotic systems that use automated carousels, automated cellular incubators, and lidding/delidding stations.

Cellular Assay Lids

Small, evenly placed holes allow for even temperature, humidity, and gas exchange necessary for cellular assays.

Compound Lids

No holes = no gas exchange. Use compound lids for biochemical assays or for temporary compound storage.

Contact our lab automation experts for information about our automated cellular incubators that produce 95+% humidity and virtually eliminate the evaporation of liquids within plates. 

Our generic-use cellular and compound lids are lighter and more compact, fitting a wider range of hotels, carousels, and incubators.

Use our assay lids with standard SBS format 96, 384, and 1536 well plates. When running multi-day cell based assays, they will minimize edge effects and significantly improve data quality.
