Thermo Scientific Nunc Chamber Slide 8 Well with Cover 16 Chamber Slides

The Thermo Scientific 177402 Nunc Chamber Slide is a specialized cell culture vessel designed for growing, staining, and examining cells directly on a microscope slide. This particular slide features eight individual wells, allowing for the simultaneous culturing of multiple cell populations or experimental conditions on a single slide. The included cover helps to maintain a sterile environment within the wells, preventing contamination during incubation and handling.

The key advantage of using chamber slides is the ability to perform in situ analysis, meaning cells can be cultured, fixed, stained, and viewed directly on the same slide without the need for transfer to another vessel. This minimizes cell disturbance and preserves cell morphology, allowing for more accurate and reliable observations. The defined wells also provide consistent and reproducible growth areas, which is essential for quantitative analysis and comparison between different experimental conditions.

The Thermo Scientific 177402 Nunc Chamber Slide is commonly used for various cell-based assays and microscopic techniques, including immunocytochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, viral and mycoplasma testing, chromosome studies, and toxicity tests. The eight-well format offers a convenient balance between throughput and ease of handling, making it suitable for a wide range of research applications where direct microscopic observation of cells is required.
