Greiner Bio-One Microplate Lid with Condensation Ring 96 Well PS Pack of 63 Lids

Greiner Bio-One 656170 Microplate Lid – High Profile, Condensation Rings, Non-Sterile

The Greiner Bio-One 656170 is a premium, high-profile microplate lid specifically engineered for 96-well cell culture and incubation applications. Manufactured from crystal-clear, optical-grade polystyrene, this lid features precisely molded condensation rings that align perfectly with the individual wells of standard 96-well plates. These rings prevent cross-contamination between adjacent wells and ensure that evaporated media condenses and drips directly back into the sample, maintaining stable osmolarity during prolonged incubations. Although this specific model is non-sterile, it is manufactured under strict cleanroom conditions to be free of detectable DNase, RNase, human DNA, and pyrogens, making it an excellent choice for a variety of demanding biological assays and high-throughput screening workflows.

Technical Performance and Design

• Condensation Ring Technology: Circular rings molded into the inner surface align with each of the 96 wells, effectively capturing condensation to prevent sample loss and cross-well contamination while allowing for optimal gas exchange during cell cultivation.

• High-Profile Geometry: The 9 mm tall "high profile" design provides ample clearance over the plate wells, preventing the lid from touching the top of the culture media or disrupting any delicate cellular monolayers.

• Optical-Grade Polystyrene: Molded from ultra-clear virgin polystyrene, allowing for quick, distortion-free visual inspections of plate contents under a microscope without the contamination risk of removing the lid.

• Certified Purity: Rigorously tested and certified to be free of detectable DNase, RNase, and human DNA, ensuring total sample integrity for downstream molecular biology and diagnostic applications.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Evaporation Control: Essential for maintaining assay consistency during long-term incubations by drastically minimizing the "edge effect" and ensuring that well volumes remain constant across the entire plate.

• Cell Culture Optimization: The loose, resting fit combined with the condensation rings ensures a continuous, optimal supply of oxygen and carbon dioxide to cultivated cells without risking airborne contamination.

• Assay Protection: Protects sensitive reagents from environmental dust and exposure during benchtop preparation, ELISA washing steps, and short-term sample storage.
