Falcon Petri Dish 100 x 20 mm Sterile 60 Petri Dishes

Falcon 353003 100 x 20 mm Cell Culture Dish (TC-Treated, Sterile)

The Falcon 353003 is a premium 100 mm cell culture dish engineered for the consistent attachment and expansion of anchorage-dependent mammalian and insect cell lines. Manufactured from crystal-grade virgin polystyrene, this dish features a vacuum-gas plasma Tissue Culture (TC) treatment that ensures a uniform, hydrophilic growth surface. The 20 mm deep-wall design provides increased headspace for media and gas exchange, while the specialized lid promotes stable stacking and optimal ventilation. Individually wrapped in medical-style peel-open packaging, these dishes are a staple for routine cell maintenance, transfection experiments, and primary culture applications.

Technical Performance and Design

• Proprietary TC-Treated Surface: The vacuum-gas plasma treatment creates a stable, negatively charged surface chemistry that promotes rapid cell attachment, uniform spreading, and high-density monolayer formation.

• Deep-Wall 20 mm Architecture: The increased height (20 mm) compared to standard 15 mm dishes allows for larger media volumes and provides a safer margin for manual handling and transport within the incubator.

• Vented Lid for Gas Exchange: The lid is designed with discrete spacers to allow for consistent CO2 and O2 exchange while maintaining a sterile environment and preventing condensation buildup.

• Exceptional Optical Clarity: Produced from high-clarity polystyrene to provide a distortion-free view for inverted microscopy, ensuring accurate monitoring of cell morphology and confluence.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Reliable Cell Attachment: Specifically validated for demanding cell lines that require a treated surface for phenotypic stability and robust proliferation.

• Large-Scale Maintenance: The 52.7 cm² growth area is ideal for maintaining stock cultures or preparing cells for large-scale experiments in flasks or multi-well plates.

• Aseptic Handling: Individually sealed in peel-open pouches to ensure that each dish remains sterile until the point of use, making them perfect for low-throughput experiments or shared labs.

• Incubator Efficiency: Features a peripheral ring on the lid for secure stacking, preventing sliding and maximizing shelf space while ensuring uniform heat distribution between dishes.
