Multiwell Cell Culture Plate Features

An improved surface treatment of the growth zone ensures constant results. Such details have always been favourites with biousing customers. The small bracket on the bottom assures no scraping when the plate is moving on the microscope. The smoothness of biousing cell culture plates is better than most best-selling brands. The absolutely flat floor area, free from inclusions, guarantees the highest level of transparency.

Millipore has introduced a new 24 well cell culture plate which has twice the membrane surface area compared with other 24 well plates, allowing researchers to utilize greater cell mass, which more closely models cell behaviour.

The 24-well Millicell cell culture plates are automation compatible and reduce the risk of monolayer contamination with "footed" membrane plates that remain elevated when disassembled from the feeder tray, and raised-well edges for better tape seating.

In addition, teardrop-shaped receiver wells are designed to eliminate air bubbles as the plates are assembled.

Millipore has also launched a new range of hanging single-well cell culture inserts. These Millicell inserts are available in 6, 24 and 96-well sizes.

Low throughput assays can be performed in the single-well unit and design features include an off-centre insert for easier media addition and removal. Standing inserts also are available.

The new cell culture plate and inserts incorporate track-etched thin film membranes for monolayer formation, microscopically transparent membranes for easy cell visualisation and fluorescent-compatible plastics and membranes.

Both products are designed to support suspension and adherent cell growth and differentiation, and can be used in a variety of cell culture assays and laboratory environments.

biousing’s multiwell cell culture plates (6 Well Cell Culture Plate, 24 Well Cell Culture Plate and 96 well cell culture plates, 96 Well ELISA Plate) are made of crystal polystyrene, conforming to the SBS-3d-standard. The material was deliberately selected to make sure the surface treatment is uniform and long-lasting. The mirror surface is polished by professional machines, which assures high-quality transparency under microscope. Low-evaporation lids ensure the constant concentration of substance in the media and guarantee a controlled gas exchange during a long-time incubation.
