Thermo Scientific Microplate 96 Well 400 ul Polystyrene 90 Plates

Thermo Scientific Nunc 156545 MicroWell Plate – 96-Well, Clear, Nunclon Delta Treated

The Thermo Scientific Nunc 156545 is a 96-well flat-bottom microplate engineered specifically for adherent cell culture and cell-based assays. Molded from optically clear virgin polystyrene, this sterile plate features the proprietary Nunclon Delta surface treatment, which modifies the naturally hydrophobic polymer into a highly hydrophilic surface to promote rapid, uniform cellular attachment and growth. Designed with a high-flange skirt and a standardized SBS footprint, the 156545 plate integrates seamlessly with automated liquid handlers, robotic plate stackers, and standard plate readers. This specific catalog number provides a generous 400 µL maximum well volume and is supplied without lids, allowing researchers to pair it with their preferred sealing films or custom gas-permeable covers.

Technical Performance and Design

• Nunclon Delta Surface: The proprietary physical-chemical treatment maximizes surface hydrophilicity, ensuring consistent, robust adhesion and proliferation for a broad spectrum of mammalian cell lines.

• Optical Clarity: The premium clear polystyrene and perfectly flat-bottom well geometry provide uncompromised optical transmission for distortion-free bottom-reading spectrophotometry and phase-contrast microscopy.

• High-Flange Design: The raised, continuous outer skirt provides a secure gripping surface for robotic arms and automated microplate transfer mechanisms, minimizing the risk of plate dropping or jamming during high-throughput screening.

• Standardized Geometry: Adheres strictly to ANSI/SBS dimensional standards, guaranteeing compatibility with all universal 96-well multi-channel pipettes, automated washers, and incubators.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Adherent Cell Culture: The gold standard for cultivating attachment-dependent cells, primary cell line isolations, and performing rigorous cell-viability or proliferation assays.

• High-Throughput Screening: The high-flange skirt and pristine optical bottom make it the ideal vessel for automated, high-volume drug discovery pipelines relying on colorimetric or microscopic readouts.

• Reproducible Results: Each production lot undergoes rigorous biological testing with standard cell lines to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency, eliminating surface-related assay variability.

• Custom Sealing Flexibility: By arriving without lids, laboratories save on unwanted plastic waste when their strict protocols explicitly require specialized adhesive breathers or heat seals.
