Falcon Microplate with Lid 6 Well Individually Sealed Case of 50 Plates

Falcon 353046 6-Well Cell Culture Plate (TC-Treated, Flat Bottom)

The Falcon 353046 is a premier 6-well multiwell plate designed for the large-scale expansion of adherent mammalian and insect cell lines. Featuring a vacuum-gas plasma Tissue Culture (TC) treatment, the plate surface is modified to be highly hydrophilic, ensuring uniform cell attachment and consistent growth kinetics across every well. Each plate is manufactured from high-clarity virgin polystyrene and includes a specialized low-evaporation labyrinth lid to maintain a sterile environment while minimizing "edge effects." Individually wrapped in medical-style peel-open packaging, these plates are an essential tool for experiments requiring high cell yields, such as transfection, protein expression, and downstream molecular analysis.

Technical Performance and Design

• Reliable TC-Treated Surface: The proprietary vacuum-gas plasma treatment provides a consistent, negatively charged surface chemistry that promotes stable cell adhesion and optimal monolayer formation.

• Labyrinth Lid Technology: The unique lid design includes condensation rings and a labyrinth seal that permits necessary gas exchange while significantly reducing evaporation and the risk of well-to-well contamination.

• Exceptional Optical Clarity: Constructed from crystal-grade virgin polystyrene with a precision flat-bottom geometry, providing an ideal path for high-resolution inverted microscopy and bottom-reading plate readers.

• Deep-Well Design: The deep-well architecture (15.5 mL total volume) provides a high safety margin during mechanical agitation and allows for flexible media volumes depending on experimental needs.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Maximum Cell Harvest: The 6-well format offers the largest surface area of the standard multiwell plates, making it the preferred choice for seeding cells prior to transfection or large-scale protein/RNA extraction.

• Surface-Dependent Research: Specifically validated for anchorage-dependent cell lines that require a treated surface for robust proliferation and phenotypic stability.

• Ergonomic Handling: Features serrated gripping panels on the sides for easier handling and a dedicated writing patch to facilitate clear sample identification.

• Aseptic Integrity: Individually sealed in peel-open medical packaging, ensuring each plate remains sterile until the moment of use—ideal for shared laboratory spaces and low-throughput experiments.
