Susanna,
Molecular Devices also sells quarts plates that should work. They sell for about
$900-1000 each. We purchased two and rotate them (one is in use while the other
is soaking in SDS for cleaning). Fisher also sells plastic plates for UV and
fluorescent uses. We bought a case of each, but use them more sparingly.
