>>We purchase Greiner 35mm vented plates from Bellco Glass, Inc., P.O. Box B,
340 Edrudo Rd., Vineland, NJ 08360, ph. (800) 257-7043. They come in cases of
740 plates for $55.95 / case delivered at quantities of 50 cases (7.6
cents/plate). They're sturdier (and cheaper) than Andy's plates. We have a
standing order with them -- they deliver any quantity desired on a monthly
basis. We also purchase 60 mm plates from them at 7.3 cents per plate. Does
anyone know of better prices for either size, or good prices on 24-well
microtiter dishes?
