Falcon Culture Microplate with Lid 24 Well Case of 50 Plates

Falcon 353047 24-Well Cell Culture Plate (TC-Treated, Flat Bottom)

The Falcon 353047 is a premier 24-well microplate engineered for the consistent attachment, spreading, and expansion of adherent mammalian and insect cell lines. Featuring a vacuum-gas plasma Tissue Culture (TC) treatment, the plate surface is modified to provide a uniform, hydrophilic chemistry that ensures optimal growth kinetics across every well. Constructed from high-clarity virgin polystyrene, these plates offer superior optical paths for inverted microscopy. Each plate includes a specialized low-evaporation labyrinth lid to maintain sterility while ensuring uniform gas exchange. Individually wrapped in medical-style peel-open packaging, the 353047 is a staple for medium-throughput research in drug discovery, molecular biology, and toxicology.

Technical Performance and Design

• Validated TC-Treated Surface: The vacuum-gas plasma treatment creates a stable, negatively charged surface that promotes rapid cell attachment and uniform monolayer formation, even for sensitive primary cell lines.

• Labyrinth Lid Technology: The patented lid design features condensation rings and a labyrinth seal that allows for uniform CO2 exchange while significantly reducing evaporation and the risk of well-to-well contamination.

• Exceptional Optical Clarity: Manufactured from crystal-grade polystyrene with a precision flat-bottom geometry, providing an ideal path for high-resolution imaging and bottom-reading plate assays.

• Molded Alphanumeric Identification: Features bold, molded-in alphanumeric well coordinates (A-D, 1-6) to facilitate easy sample tracking and prevent pipetting errors during complex manual workflows.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Versatile Scale-Up: The 24-well format (1.9 cm² per well) provides a balanced growth area for experiments requiring more material than a 96-well plate but higher throughput than a 6-well plate.

• Consistency in Results: The uniform surface treatment and specialized lid design minimize "edge effects," ensuring that data collected from peripheral wells is consistent with central wells.

• Automation Compatibility: Adheres to standard ANSI/SLAS footprint dimensions for full compatibility with robotic plate handlers and automated liquid handling systems.

• Aseptic Handling: Peel-open medical packaging ensures that each plate remains sterile until the point of use, critical for maintaining aseptic conditions in laminar flow hoods.
