Corning Petri Dishes Vented with Lids 60 x 15 mm TC Treated 500 Dishes

Corning 60mm Tissue Culture-Treated Petri Dishes – 60 x 15 mm, Hydrophilic TC Surface, Optically Clear Virgin Polystyrene, Grip Ring Border, with Vented Lids, Sterile (MPN: 430166)

The Corning Life Sciences 430166 (also cataloged across international biomedical networks as CLS430166) is a premium, cell-culture-grade Petri dish assembly engineered to drive robust anchorage and uniform monolayer expansion of adherent primary cells and established cell lines. Measuring 60 mm in diameter by 15 mm in height, these dishes are injection-molded in a class 100,000 cleanroom environment from ultra-pure, optically clear virgin polystyrene. Each dish undergoes a uniform vacuum-gas plasma tissue culture (TC) surface treatment, infusing highly hydrophilic, negatively charged oxygen groups into the polymer matrix to facilitate optimal cell attachment and spreading. Outfitted with an integrated outer grip ring perimeter to prevent accidental drops, these sterile culture vessels feature specialized vented lids that permit continuous, automated gas exchange while guarding against particulate contamination.

Technical Performance and Structural Design

• Hydrophilic Vacuum-Plasma TC Treatment: The growth surface undergoes a validated vacuum-gas plasma modification. This permanent surface treatment ensures highly consistent cell attachment, rapid cell spreading, and excellent clonal proliferation rates across demanding adherent lines.

• Ergonomic Safety Grip Ring Boundary: Designed with a distinct raised outer grip ring molded around the base perimeter. This physical rim gives technicians a secure, slip-free boundary to hold when pulling dishes from incubator stacks, preventing accidental lid separation and contamination hazards.

• Vented Lids for Gas Exchange loops: Equipped with matching clear polystyrene lids featuring engineered structural vents. These micro-spacers promote uniform, consistent gas circulation and carbon dioxide equilibrium while preventing moisture buildup and condensation tracking.

• Validated Pyrogen-Free Aseptic Purity: Sterilized via validated gamma irradiation protocols to secure an absolute sterile boundary. Every production lot is certified non-pyrogenic (endotoxin levels less than 0.1 EU/mL) and non-cytotoxic to safeguard sensitive cellular cultures.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Primary and Stem Cell Culture Expansion: The standard baseline choice for isolating and cultivating primary mammalian cell lines, stem cells, and anchorage-dependent tumor cells requiring a uniform hydrophilic surface.

• Microscopic Clonal Selection Assays: The premium optical-grade clear polystyrene allows for artifact-free inspection, high-magnification inverted microscopy tracking, and live-cell fluorescent staining verification directly through the dish base.

• Transfection and Microinjection Protocols: The convenient 60 mm medium-footprint size offers optimal workspace ergonomics for executing manual microinjections, cell scraping, and localized chemical transfection runs.

• Incubator Space Maximization: The integrated bottom lip locks into the matching recessed lid of the dish below it, allowing researchers to build high, stable vertical stacks inside carbon dioxide incubators without tilting risks.
