Precision-molded from highly purified, optically clear virgin polystyrene, these flat-bottom plates offer uncompromised optical clarity for spectrophotometric plate readers and high-resolution phase-contrast microscopy. The internal growth surfaces undergo a proprietary vacuum-gas plasma tissue culture (TC) treatment, generating a uniformly hydrophilic environment that promotes rapid, consistent cellular attachment and monolayer proliferation across all 96 wells. To safeguard critical assays from edge-effects and evaporation, each sterile plate is equipped with a precision-engineered, one-way fitting lid featuring specialized condensation rings. Packaged in a full case of 50 plates, this consumable strictly adheres to standard ANSI\/SBS footprint dimensions, ensuring seamless integration with automated liquid handlers, robotic plate washers, and high-content screening systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVacuum-Gas Plasma TC Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e Permanently alters the hydrophobic polystyrene surface to become hydrophilic, creating an optimal electrochemical environment for the uniform binding of anchorage-dependent cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOptically Clear Flat Bottoms:\u003c\/b\u003e Delivers superior, distortion-free light transmission that is critical for bottom-reading colorimetric assays, morphological scoring, and continuous visual monitoring of cell confluency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNon-Reversible Lids with Condensation Rings:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed to fit securely in only one orientation to prevent cross-contamination, while integrated rings trap moisture to drastically reduce media evaporation over extended incubation periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlphanumeric Well Identification:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrates clearly molded row (A-H) and column (1-12) indexing, accelerating spatial orientation during complex assay setups and significantly reducing the likelihood of pipetting errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalog Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 3997\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWell Count \/ Format:\u003c\/b\u003e 96-Well, Flat Bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Virgin Polystyrene (Tissue Culture Treated)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSterility Status:\u003c\/b\u003e Sterile\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/b\u003e Non-Reversible Lids\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits \u0026amp; Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-Throughput Screening (HTS):\u003c\/b\u003e The standard 96-well layout and ANSI\/SBS footprint accommodate the high-volume processing of compound libraries, maximizing reagent efficiency and laboratory throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCell Viability and Toxicity Assays:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides the optimal well dimensions and optical clarity required for conducting standardized MTT, XTT, or luminescent cell survival screening across multiple experimental conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCloning and Viral Titrations:\u003c\/b\u003e The multi-well format supports the necessary media volumes and spatial separation required for accurate viral plaque enumeration, cloning by limiting dilution, and infectivity studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorkflow Standardization:\u003c\/b\u003e Uniform surface chemistry across all 96 wells minimizes biological variance and edge-effects, guaranteeing reproducible growth kinetics and reliable data generation across large-scale experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll product names, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50929118150908,"sku":"10951","price":166.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8463\/5132\/files\/corning-culture-microplate-with-lid-96-well-treated-polystyrene-case-of-50-plates-microplates-corning-555174.jpg?v=1786138010","url":"https:\/\/lifesciencestrading.com\/products\/corning-culture-microplate-with-lid-96-well-treated-polystyrene","provider":"Life Sciences Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
