Fisherbrand Microplate 6 Well Flat Bottom Individual Packs 100 Plates

Fisher Scientific FB012927 Microplate – 6 Well, Flat Bottom, Polystyrene

The Fisher Scientific FB012927 is a high-quality 6-well microplate engineered for versatile cell culture and laboratory assay applications. Manufactured from premium, medical-grade virgin polystyrene, this plate offers exceptional optical clarity for both visual and automated monitoring of cell growth. Each well is designed with a flat bottom to ensure a uniform cell monolayer and a consistent optical path for imaging and spectrophotometric analysis. The plate features a raised rim design to minimize cross-contamination and an alphanumeric grid for rapid well identification. Supplied sterile and non-pyrogenic, the FB012927 is an essential tool for scaling up cell lines or performing multi-well experimental treatments.

Technical Performance and Design

• Flat-Bottom Well Geometry: Provides an even surface for uniform cell distribution and optimal microscopic visualization across the entire diameter of the well.

• Surface Treatment: The growth surface is typically vacuum-gas plasma treated to enhance the hydrophilicity of the polystyrene, promoting consistent cell attachment and spreading (verify specific treatment for your lot).

• Low-Evaporation Lid: Includes a fitted lid with condensation rings designed to minimize media evaporation and maintain stable pH levels during long-term incubation.

• Standardized Footprint: Complies with ANSI/SLAS microplate dimensions, ensuring seamless compatibility with automated liquid handlers, plate readers, and centrifuge rotors.
