Corning Spheroid Microplate with Lid 384 Well Barcoded Pack of 10 Plates

Corning 384-Well Black/Clear Round Bottom Spheroid Microplates with Lid, Barcoded, Sterile (3830BC) – Pack of 10

The Corning 384-Well Spheroid Microplates with Generic Barcode (3830BC) are high-precision 3D cell culture vessels designed for high-throughput screening (HTS), cancer biology, organoid generation, and drug toxicity testing. Featuring Corning's covalently bonded Ultra-Low Attachment (ULA) surface, these microplates prevent cell adhesion, enabling cells to spontaneously aggregate into uniform, single 3D multicellular spheroids per well. Constructed with opaque black side walls and optically clear round bottoms, the 3830BC design shields individual wells from well-to-well crosstalk and background fluorescence while facilitating direct bottom-reading imaging and automated microscopy. Outfitted with factory-applied Code 128 barcodes on multiple sides, this pack of 10 sterile microplates with matching lids delivers seamless tracking for automated laboratory systems and robotic plate handlers.

Technical Performance & Key Attributes

• Covalently Bonded Ultra-Low Attachment (ULA) Surface: Hydrophilic, biologically inert hydrogel surface minimizes non-specific protein adsorption and prevents cell-surface adhesion, driving consistent 3D spheroid formation.
• Novel Round Bottom Well Geometry: Unique concave well structure encourages centered aggregation of single spheroids, allowing both culture and assay execution within the same microplate without transfers.
• Black Opaque Frame with Optically Clear Bottoms: Black polystyrene walls block signal bleed-through and crosstalk during fluorescent/luminescent detection, while clear bottoms ensure high-resolution microscopy and automated imaging.
• Factory-Applied Generic Barcoding: Includes Code 128 barcodes printed on four sides of the plate to enable reliable identification across automated readers, stackers, and HTS robotic arms.
