Abstract:
A multiwell plate forming a plurality of sample wells for holding samples to be assayed, said multiwell plate comprising:an upper plate that forms sidewalls of the sample wells, said upper plate made from a polymeric material; and a lower plate that forms bottom walls of the sample wells, said lower plate made from a pyrolized glass, wherein said upper plate was joined to said lower plate by an adhesive mixed with a silane monomer that polymerized to form a compatible network with the adhesive to strengthen a bond between said upper plate and said lower plate, wherein said polymeric material is plasma treated polymeric material after being subjected to a plasma treatment process to create reactive groups that would interact with the silane monomer in said adhesive to further strengthen the bond between said adhesive and said upper plate.
