Falcon Microplate 6 Well Flat Bottom TC Treated 2 Cases of 36 Plates Each

Falcon 353224 6-Well Cell Culture Plate (Flat Bottom, TC-Treated)

The Falcon 353224 is a premium 6-well microplate engineered for the consistent growth and analysis of anchorage-dependent mammalian cells. Manufactured from high-clarity, medical-grade virgin polystyrene, these plates undergo a specialized vacuum-gas plasma treatment to create a highly hydrophilic tissue culture (TC) surface, ensuring superior cell attachment and spreading. The plate features a flat-bottom well geometry with a 9.6 cm² growth area per well, providing ample space for scale-up from smaller formats or for performing high-resolution imaging and transfection assays. Each plate is supplied sterile and non-pyrogenic, featuring a specialized low-evaporation lid designed to maintain atmospheric equilibrium while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Technical Performance and Design

• Vacuum-Gas Plasma TC Treatment: The surface chemistry is permanently modified to provide a consistent, negatively charged hydrophilic environment, which is essential for the robust attachment of primary cells and sensitive cell lines.

• Low-Evaporation Lid Design: Features a unique labyrinth-style "chimney" design that allows for gas exchange while significantly reducing evaporation rates, maintaining the stability of the media pH and osmolarity during long-term incubation.

• Individual Alphanumeric Coding: Each well is clearly marked with high-contrast alphanumeric coordinates, facilitating rapid sample identification and tracking during complex experimental protocols.

• Stackable & Ergonomic: The plate base is designed for secure stacking in the incubator, and the easy-grip "scalloped" edges allow for safe handling with gloved hands or robotic grippers.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Anchorage-Dependent Cell Culture: The gold standard for the expansion of adherent cell lines, including HEK293, HeLa, and CHO, as well as primary fibroblasts and epithelial cells.

• Transfection & Transduction: The large surface area and flat bottom make it ideal for high-efficiency viral transduction or chemical transfection protocols where high cell density and clear visualization are required.

• Microscopic Imaging: The ultra-flat optical base minimizes light distortion, allowing for high-quality phase-contrast microscopy and fluorescence imaging directly within the well.

• Media Optimization Studies: The 6-well format provides a practical balance between sample volume and throughput, perfect for testing various growth factors or drug concentrations in parallel.
