Background

96 well plates with transparent bases cost ~$4 each. It was unclear if washing plates (bleach, followed by ethanol) led to greater variation in readings.

Method

The GFP and absorbance of every well on a new and a washed plate were measured. The wells were empty.

Results

Histograms of the GFP readings for each plate are shown below.
