What type of 96 well plate to use with Acetone - (Sep/10/2007 )
I have to do an TTC extraction experiment on bacterial cells with acetone and then read the absorbance in a spec. The problem is that all of our 96 well plates are made with polystyrene with is degraded with acetone. Polypropylene plates would not be clear enough to do any spec readings on, correct? What are my other options? Glass? Something I'm not thinking of?

You can also ask other companies directly about your need.
