VWR Microplate with Lid 12 Well Sterile Individual Packs 50 Plates

The VWR 10062-894 Microplate is a standard consumable designed for the cultivation of adherent cell lines. This plate features a 12-well configuration, offering a larger growth area per well compared to standard 96- or 24-well plates, which is beneficial for experiments requiring higher cell yields or larger media volumes.

Key Features & Specifications:

Tissue Culture (TC) Treated: The wells have undergone a specialized surface treatment (vacuum-gas plasma) that modifies the polystyrene to be hydrophilic and negatively charged. This surface chemistry is essential for promoting consistent cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation for anchorage-dependent cells.

Sterile & Individually Packed: A significant advantage of this specific catalog number is the packaging. Each plate is individually wrapped in a sterile peel-open pack. This is ideal for lower-throughput work, allowing researchers to open a single plate without compromising the sterility of the remaining stock.

Design: The plate is constructed from high-clarity virgin polystyrene with flat-bottom wells, ensuring distortion-free optical quality for microscopic examination. It includes a lid designed to permit necessary gas exchange while protecting samples from contamination and evaporation.

Purity: These plates are certified non-pyrogenic and non-cytotoxic, ensuring they do not introduce artifacts into biological assays.

Common Applications: These plates are widely used for scale-up experiments, viral titration assays, and cell biology studies where researchers need to harvest cells for downstream analysis (such as Western blotting or RNA extraction) requiring more biomass than smaller wells can provide.
