Thermo Scientific Nunc Microplate 96 Well PS Sterile with Lid Sealed 80 Plates

Thermo Scientific 268200 Nunc 96-Well Clear Flat Bottom Microplate (Sterile, with Lid)

The Thermo Scientific 268200 is a high-quality, non-treated 96-well microplate designed for applications that do not require specialized surface modifications for cell attachment. Manufactured from crystal-grade virgin polystyrene, these plates offer exceptional optical clarity, making them ideal for colorimetric assays, sample dilutions, and the growth of non-adherent (suspension) cell lines. Each plate comes pre-sterilized and includes a dedicated low-evaporation lid featuring condensation rings to ensure a stable environment and prevent cross-contamination during incubation or storage.

Technical Performance and Design

• Non-Treated Polystyrene Surface: The hydrophobic nature of the untreated polystyrene minimizes the attachment of adherent cells, making this plate the preferred choice for suspension cultures, hybridoma screening, and bacterial assays.

• Exceptional Optical Clarity: Produced to rigorous tolerances to ensure a clear, distortion-free optical path, facilitating high-accuracy readings in both top-reading and bottom-reading microplate readers.

• Precision Flat Bottom: The uniform flat-bottom design ensures a consistent path length for light transmission and provides a stable surface for automated liquid handling probes and plate washers.

• Standardized ANSI/SLAS Footprint: Fully compatible with automated workstations, robotic stackers, and high-throughput screening (HTS) platforms, ensuring seamless integration into modern laboratory workflows.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Suspension Cell Culture: Ideal for maintaining and expanding cell lines that grow in suspension, such as lymphocytes, hybridomas, and certain stem cell populations.

• Sample Storage & Titration: The sterile, individually wrapped format makes these plates excellent for preparing serial dilutions or for the short-term storage of sterile reagents and master mixes.

• Homogeneous Assays: Perfect for enzymatic assays and chemical screens where a neutral, non-binding background is required for accurate signal detection.

• Low-Evaporation Lid: The included lid features a labyrinth design that permits necessary gas exchange while significantly reducing fluid loss and the "edge effect" in peripheral wells.
