Corning Microplate 12 Well BioCoat with Lid TC Treated 50 Plates

The Corning 356500 BioCoat Microplate is a specialized 12-well culture plate designed to provide an enhanced environment for cell growth and differentiation. Constructed from clear polystyrene, this plate features a flat bottom design, which is essential for high-resolution microscopy and consistent optical measurements.

The defining feature of this BioCoat plate is its uniform coating of Rat Tail Collagen Type I. This biological coating mimics the in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM), providing a physiologically relevant surface that significantly improves cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. It is particularly effective for culturing difficult-to-attach cell types—such as primary cells, hepatocytes, and muscle cells—that may not thrive on standard Tissue Culture (TC) treated plastic. The plate includes a lid to maintain sterility and regulate gas exchange during incubation.
