A microplate has an array of sample wells, each well consisting of a first polymer composition, the wells having side walls and a base, and being located in a matrix of a second polymer composition, the second polymer composition being opaque, the said matrix shrouding the side walls of the wells and extending beyond the ends of the side walls of the wells, each well being thermally bonded to the matrix of the second polymer composition, so as to form an integral structure. The microplate is obtained by moulding an array of discrete separate wells of a first polymer composition on a support then moulding a matrix of a second polymer composition around the said wells so that the polymer compositions are thermally bonded to each other and separating the said integral structure from the support whereby the wells have open ends emerging through one face of the structure, and their other ends closed.
