‘Determination of well-to-well crosstalk in microplates used for luminescence measurements’ - .PDF file.

The use of luminescence assays and reagents in drug discovery has increased significantly over the past 10 years due to a combination of ease of use, very high specificity of assays and good sensitivity at low levels of screened compounds. Modern photometric instruments are able to accurately count very low levels of photon emissions from luminescence substrates and this has led to an increasing focus on the optical cross talk inherent in the design of SBS/ANSI standard microplates and the signal-to-noise ratio that can be experimentally obtained. This short paper compares the observable optical cross talk in three different manufacturers’ micro-well plates and finds that the use of a black supporting matrix can significantly improve sensitivity in microplate assays.
