Falcon 353072 Microplate with Lid 96 Well Individually Sealed 50 Plates

Description

Falcon 353072 96-Well Cell Culture Plate (TC-Treated, Flat Bottom)

The Falcon 353072 is a premium 96-well microplate engineered for the consistent attachment and growth of anchorage-dependent mammalian and insect cell lines. Manufactured from crystal-grade virgin polystyrene, these plates feature a vacuum-gas plasma Tissue Culture (TC) treatment that creates a stable, hydrophilic surface for uniform cell distribution and monolayer formation. Supplied with a specialized low-evaporation lid and individually sealed in medical-style peel-open packaging, these plates ensure a sterile, non-pyrogenic environment for high-stakes genomic, proteomic, and drug discovery research.

Technical Performance and Design

• Vacuum-Gas Plasma TC Treatment: The surface chemistry is modified to provide a consistent, hydrophilic environment, ensuring reliable cell attachment and superior growth rates compared to non-treated plates.

• Enhanced Optical Clarity: Constructed from crystal-grade virgin polystyrene with flat-bottom geometry, allowing for high-resolution microscopic imaging and reliable bottom-reading fluorescence assays.

• Low-Evaporation Lid Design: Features a unique labyrinth-style lid that minimizes evaporation while allowing for uniform gas exchange, maintaining the osmotic balance of the culture media during long-term incubation.

• Automation-Ready Footprint: Adheres to standard ANSI/SLAS dimensions, ensuring full compatibility with automated liquid handlers, plate readers, and robotic stackers.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Primary Cell Culture: Ideal for the cultivation of primary cells and sensitive cell lines that require a highly consistent attachment surface.

• Assay Reproducibility: The thin-walled, flat-bottom design reduces “edge effects” and background noise, ensuring high signal-to-noise ratios in colorimetric and fluorometric assays.

• Sterility Assurance: Individually sealed “peel-open” medical packaging prevents contamination of unused plates in a case, making it perfect for aseptic work in laminar flow hoods.

• Visual Identification: Features alphanumeric coordinates (A-H, 1-12) and a frosted labeling area for easy sample tracking and organization during manual pipetting.
