Corning Microplate with Lid CellBIND 24 Well 1.9 cm2 Growth Area 50 Plates

Corning 3337 CellBIND Microplate – 24-Well, Clear, Flat Bottom, with Lid

The Corning 3337 is a 24-well cell culture microplate featuring the advanced CellBIND surface treatment. Engineered specifically to enhance the attachment and proliferation of difficult-to-attach, fastidious, or primary cell lines, this plate is molded from premium, optically clear virgin polystyrene. The patented CellBIND process incorporates significantly more oxygen into the cell culture surface compared to standard tissue culture treatments, resulting in improved surface hydrophilicity and highly consistent cell spreading. Supplied sterile and complete with a matching condensation-ring lid, each flat-bottom well features a 1.9 cm² growth area and a maximum volumetric capacity of 3.4 mL.

Technical Performance and Design

• CellBIND Surface Treatment: Utilizing an innovative microwave plasma process, CellBIND introduces oxygen-containing functional groups directly into the polystyrene backbones. This permanent surface modification drastically increases wettability and uniform protein adsorption without utilizing coatings that can peel or degrade.

• Pristine Optical Clarity: Manufactured from ultra-clear virgin polystyrene with perfectly flat bottom well profiles, allowing for distortion-free visual tracking via phase-contrast microscopy or high-resolution automated imaging systems.

• Raised Well Rims: Individual well openings feature a pronounced, raised outer rim that interfaces with the lid's internal rings. This configuration eliminates fluid wicking, reduces cross-contamination risks, and actively limits media evaporation.

• Standardized Automation Footprint: Conforms strictly to standard ANSI/SLAS microplate dimensional requirements, ensuring flawless alignment with multi-channel pipettes, automated cell culture washers, and liquid handling workstations.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Fastidious Cell Lines: The premier choice for cultivating primary cells, transfected lines, and weakly adherent stem cells that struggle to form secure monolayers on standard TC surfaces.

• Wash-Resistant Monolayers: CellBIND's enhanced electrostatic binding prevents cells from sloughing off or shearing away during aggressive cell staining, target fixing, or automated washing protocols.

• Reduced Serum Adaptation: The high-hydrophilicity matrix helps cells adapt much faster to serum-free or reduced-serum media formulations by providing baseline structural attachment support.

• Lot-to-Lot Reproducibility: Rigorously validated to guarantee highly predictable surface characteristics and cell yields across multi-batch production schedules.
