Corning Microplate with Lid 6 Well 50 Plates

The Corning 3736 Microplate is a specialized laboratory consumable designed for various cell-based assays and suspension culture applications. This plate features a 6-well format, making it suitable for experiments that require a larger individual well volume or for initial cell culture studies. It is constructed from clear polystyrene (PS), which provides excellent optical clarity for easy visual inspection.

A key characteristic of this microplate is its non-treated surface. This means the polystyrene has not been modified (i.e., not tissue culture (TC) treated) to promote cell adhesion. Consequently, this plate is ideal for applications where cell attachment is undesirable, such as:

Suspension Cell Culture: Growing cells that naturally remain suspended in the medium (like many blood cell lines).

• Non-Adherent Assays: Experiments designed to study cell-cell interactions without interference from the substrate.
• Bacteriological Work: Culturing bacteria or other microorganisms.
• Solution Storage: Storing reagents or compounds where surface binding must be minimized.

The plate is supplied with a lid, which provides a crucial barrier to protect samples from contamination and minimize evaporation during incubation. The Corning 3736 Microplate is a reliable and convenient tool for researchers who require a standard, non-adhesive, large-well platform.
