Thermo Scientific Microplate 24 Well 1 ml Polystyrene Case of 85 Plates

Thermo Scientific Nunc 142485 Multidish – 24-Well, 1 mL Working Volume

The Thermo Scientific Nunc 142485 is a 24-well cell culture multidish engineered for the secure cultivation and scale-up of adherent cell lines. Molded from high-quality, optically clear polystyrene, this plate features the proprietary Nunclon Delta surface modification, which creates a highly hydrophilic environment to promote the rapid attachment and proliferation of a broad spectrum of mammalian cells. Designed with a 1 mL optimal working volume per well, the plate is supplied completely sterile and non-pyrogenic. It includes a specialized vented lid that facilitates uniform gas exchange while utilizing a raised well-rim design to effectively prevent cross-contamination and minimize evaporative media loss during extended incubation periods.

Technical Performance and Design

• Nunclon Delta Surface Treatment: The proprietary physical-chemical modification renders the hydrophobic polystyrene surface highly hydrophilic, optimizing it for robust cellular attachment, spreading, and long-term viability.

• Vented Orientation Lid: The included lid features specific condensation rings and vented standoff notches, ensuring consistent atmospheric gas exchange across all 24 wells while remaining keyed for a secure, one-way fit.

• Raised Well Rims: Each individual well features a pronounced, raised rim that directly interfaces with the lid's internal rings, effectively preventing fluid wicking, cross-contamination, and excessive evaporation.

• Optical Clarity: Constructed from premium virgin polystyrene, the flat-bottom well geometry provides exceptional glass-like clarity, permitting distortion-free macroscopic and microscopic imaging of cell monolayers.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Adherent Cell Culture: The standard choice for routine mammalian cell cultivation, viral plaque assays, and primary cell line isolations requiring uncompromised surface adhesion.

• Assay Scale-Up: The 1.9 cm² well surface area bridges the gap between smaller 96-well screening plates and larger 6-well dishes, providing sufficient biomass for localized protein or nucleic acid extractions.

• Reproducible Results: Each production lot is strictly validated with standard cell lines and culture media to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and biological performance.

• Streamlined Workflow: Features molded-in alphanumeric coordinates to easily track distinct sample replicates, while the stackable footprint maximizes limited space within crowded CO2 incubators.
