Corning Culture Microplate 384-Well Black Clear Flat Bottom with Lid 20 Plates

The Corning 3827 Culture Plate is a specialized microplate designed for cell culture applications, particularly those involving three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures or assays where cell attachment is undesirable. This plate features a 384-well format, offering a high-density platform for culturing and analyzing cells, and comes with a lid to maintain a controlled environment.

The black color of the plate minimizes background fluorescence and light scattering, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio in fluorescence and luminescence assays. The plate also has a clear bottom, which allows for microscopic imaging and observation of cells grown within the wells. The flat bottom design ensures a uniform plane for imaging and accurate optical measurements. A crucial characteristic is the "Ultra-Low Attachment" surface treatment, which is designed to prevent cell adhesion. This is essential for promoting the formation of spheroids, organoids, or other 3D cell aggregates, which are increasingly important models for studying cell behavior and drug responses. The included lid serves to minimize evaporation and contamination during cell culture, creating a more stable and controlled environment.   

These Corning culture plates are valuable tools in fields such as cancer research, stem cell biology, and drug discovery, where controlling cell attachment and studying 3D cell structures are critical.
