Fisherbrand Microplate with Lid 96 Well Case of 50 Plates

Fisherbrand FB012932 96-Well Round Bottom Cell Culture Plate (Sterile)

The Fisherbrand FB012932 is a high-performance 96-well microplate designed for a wide range of laboratory applications, including cell suspension culture, sample dilutions, and immunological assays. Manufactured from high-clarity virgin polystyrene, this plate features a Round (U) Bottom well geometry, which is optimized for easy sample retrieval and efficient pelleting of cells or precipitates. Each plate is individually wrapped in a medical-style peel-open pouch to ensure maximum sterility and is supplied with a low-evaporation lid to maintain a stable environment during long-term incubation.

Technical Performance and Design

• Round (U) Bottom Geometry: The hemispherical well base facilitates superior mixing of reagents and ensures that cells or particulates aggregate at the center of the well, making it ideal for centrifugation and titration tasks.

• Enhanced Sterility Assurance: Individually sealed packaging prevents cross-contamination of unused plates in a case, making these plates ideal for high-stakes aseptic workflows in the laminar flow hood.

• Low-Evaporation Lid: The included lid is designed with condensation rings and a labyrinth seal to permit necessary gas exchange while minimizing fluid loss and "edge effects" in the peripheral wells.

• High Optical Clarity: Produced from medical-grade polystyrene, providing clear visual access for monitoring cell density or colorimetric changes during the assay cycle.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Suspension Cell Culture: The non-treated surface and round bottom are specifically suited for cells that grow in suspension, preventing unwanted attachment and facilitating easy harvesting.

• Serial Dilutions & Titrations: Preferred for ELISA and RIA preparation where thorough mixing of samples and reagents is required for accurate concentration curves.

• Cell Pelleting & Washing: The curved base allows for the formation of tight, centralized pellets during centrifugation, simplifying the aspiration of supernatants without disturbing the sample.

• High-Throughput Compatibility: The rigid plate construction and standardized footprint allow for seamless use with automated liquid handlers, multi-channel pipettes, and robotic stackers.
