Even small differences in plate bottom thickness can noticeably impact your imaging results. Many high-NA microscope objectives are optimized for a bottom thickness of around 170 µm - similar to a standard coverslip.
Deviate from that, and things start to change.

What happens when the bottom gets too thick?
👉 Loss of image sharpness
👉 Reduced contrast

At low magnification, you might not notice.
But once you move to 20×, 40×, or higher, these effects become hard to ignore.
The reason: even slight variations in thickness alter the optical path - and with it, your image quality.

The takeaway?
💡 For reliable, high-resolution imaging, especially in high-content screening, plate bottom thickness isn’t a detail - it’s a critical parameter.

"30–50% of lab tests may be unnecessary"*
According to experts in this webinar, overordering is not just a cost issue. It can have real consequences for patients, staff, and workflows.

So why does it happen? One key reason discussed: a communication gap between clinicians and laboratory specialists, shaped by different perspectives and priorities.

In this recorded session, experts from both sides (including Dr. Snezana Jovicic from Greiner Bio-One) explore where this divide comes from and what helps bridge it in practice. They also share what it really takes to implement change in complex healthcare environments.

What you’ll get:
• Practical takeaways from both sides
• Real-world examples of better collaboration
• Insights on implementing change in complex environments

Myth: Polystyrene is polystyrene. All PS microplates are the same.
🤨 Not even close.

Reality check:
The performance of a PS microplate depends on much more than the base material:
👉 Additives can influence background signals and autofluorescence
👉 Polymer quality affects optical consistency and reliability
👉 Surface treatment determines cell attachment and behavior
👉 Manufacturing processes impact well-to-well uniformity and signal stability

The result?
Two plates labeled “PS” can behave very differently in your assay - from cell growth to signal readout.
Assuming they’re interchangeable can lead to variability, reproducibility issues and wasted time troubleshooting.

👉 Don’t choose based on material name alone - choose based on performance. Use our free imaging checklist as a helpful tool: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vGkXB0

Switching sampling devices in a hospital is never just a product decision. It’s about continuity, training, trust - and how well teams are supported during change.

At Groupe Hospitalier du Havre (France), the transition to Greiner Bio One sampling solutions (Vacuette®) was embedded in a broader effort to stabilize the pre analytical chain — with a strong focus on service and partnership from day one.

What made the difference in practice:
🤝 Hands on training over two weeks, across all shifts — including nights
🤝 On site presence during rollout, not just initial instruction
🤝 Clear, practical training materials supporting daily routines
🤝 Accessible, responsive support when questions came up
🤝 A partnership approach built on listening to users and adapting to real workflows

Several hospital representatives highlighted that what made the transition work was the on site presence during rollout, training across all shifts, and accessible support in daily operations — elements they had missed with previous suppliers.

For caregivers, this meant confidence during busy shifts.
For lab and procurement teams, it translated into reliability, continuity of supply, and fewer workarounds.

💡Practical takeaway:
In complex hospital environments, service is not an add on. It’s what turns a technical change into a sustainable improvement.

Missed our webinar on serum gel tubes? Now’s your chance. Preanalytics is full of small decisions that have a big impact.

In our webinar “The Art of Preanalytics – Essentials for Success with Serum Gel Tubes” you’ll learn:
✔️ Best practices for order of draw & handling
✔️ Common errors - and how to avoid them
✔️ What happens after centrifugation (transport, storage, aliquoting)

Designed for real-world routines, this session gives you practical insights you can apply immediately.

Because better preanalytics means:
➡️ Fewer errors
➡️ More reliable results
➡️ Less stress in your daily work

For the second time, our team in Americana (Brazil) has successfully completed the Social Responsibility Audit (SRA) – renewing an existing local certification and reinforcing what Health, Safety & Sustainability mean to us at Greiner Bio One worldwide.

The SRA is a recognized Brazilian certification that evaluates key social, labor, environmental and management practices across the organization and local supply chain.

It covers topics such as:
✔️ Prevention of child and forced labor
✔️ Respectful, discrimination free workplaces
✔️ Fair employment contracts, working hours and compensation
✔️ Freedom of association and employment contracts
✔️ Occupational health & safety
✔️ Environmental compliance and environmental management
✔️ Monitoring of production chains
✔️ Robust documentation, management and monitoring systems

What makes this especially meaningful:
This audit is not about a one time achievement. It’s about consistent standards, strong processes and everyday responsibility – even under operational pressure.

👉 What this shows across GBO: Health & Safety is not a local initiative. It’s a global mindset, translated into practical action at every site.

👏 Congratulations to everyone involved in Americana for setting a strong example of how responsible business is lived – every day.

Not all microplates are created equal, especially when it comes to imaging.

One of the most overlooked factors?
👉 The plate bottom material.
Yet it’s the foundation of your image quality.

Why it matters:
The material directly affects light transmission, autofluorescence, and flatness — all critical for generating clear, high-resolution images.

In the slides, we prepared a quick breakdown for you.

So what’s the takeaway?
💡 Choosing the right material isn’t just a technical detail — it directly impacts how much you can trust your data. And in high-throughput workflows, that can make all the difference between reliable insights and repeated troubleshooting.

👉 Start with the right foundation — and get more out of every image.

Proper handling of serum tubes can make or break your results. In busy clinical routines, it’s easy to overlook small steps. But in preanalytics, these details matter.

Here are 3 essentials for serum tubes:
✅ Mixing matters: Gentle inversions ensure the clot activator works properly
✅ Timing is critical: Allow at least 30 minutes for clotting (unless using thrombin-based tubes)
✅ Centrifuge correctly: Within 2 hours to maintain sample quality

Why is this so important?

Because improper handling can lead to:
❌ Incomplete clotting
❌ Hemolysis
❌ Sample rejection and redraws

And that can mean more stress, increased time pressure and potential risks for patients.

Better imaging doesn’t start with more effort. It starts with the right setup. If you want consistent, high-quality imaging results, there are a few key factors you simply can’t ignore:

👉 Bottom material – defines optical clarity and signal quality
👉 Bottom thickness – critical for sharp focus, especially at higher magnifications
👉 Plate geometry – determines whether your objective can access every well
👉 Planarity – ensures stable autofocus across the entire plate
👉 Surface treatment – impacts how your cells attach, grow, and behave

Each of these parameters directly influences your imaging performance — and ultimately, the reliability of your data.

But how do they all come together in practice?

In our latest video, our expert Philipp Wachter walks you through the most important factors and explains what really matters when selecting a microplate for imaging.

🎥 Watch now to see how small changes in your setup can make a big difference.

💡 Set the right parameters - and get the image quality your data deserves.
