title: Thermal characteristics of microtitre plates used in immunological assays.
abstract: Thermal studies of various types of microtitre plate have shown that wells at the edges of a plate have different thermal characteristics from those in the centre. This may contribute to the 'edge effect' observed when such plates are used as solid supports for protein immunobilisation in immunoassays.
