Ensuring reliable assays: Why the ideal microplate is an invisible one

Drug Discovery World

Early operations focused on the discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP), which played a very big role in early drug discovery research operations using cellular assays. But it comes with surface charge that will absorb proteins, DNA, and other things, unless you do something to treat that surface.
