Thermo Scientific Nunc Petri Dish 2mm Gridded with Lid 200 Dishes

Thermo Scientific Nunc 174926 Cell Culture Dish – 35 mm, Gridded, Nunclon Delta Treated

The Thermo Scientific Nunc 174926 is a 35 mm cell culture dish engineered to facilitate accurate cell counting and precise colony isolation. Manufactured from premium optical-grade polystyrene, this dish features the industry-standard Nunclon Delta surface treatment, which optimizes the polymer for maximum cellular adhesion and robust proliferation across a wide variety of adherent cell lines. What sets the 174926 apart is its integrated 2 x 2 mm molded grid located on the base of the dish. This grid provides a distinct spatial reference, completely eliminating the need for researchers to manually draw quadrant lines when quantifying plating efficiency or tracking single-cell clones under a microscope. Packaged with a vented lid to ensure consistent gas exchange within the incubator, this sterile dish is a vital consumable for strict, reproducible in vitro applications.

Technical Performance and Design

• Nunclon Delta Surface: The proprietary surface modification promotes maximal cell attachment and spreading, making it an ideal environment for culturing fastidious or easily detached mammalian cell lines.

• Molded 2 x 2 mm Grid: The precision-molded grid provides a consistent, standardized reference coordinate system, drastically simplifying manual cell counting and the tracking of individual clones over multiple days of growth.

• Vented Lid Design: Features integrated air vents that permit uniform gas exchange (CO2 and O2) with the incubator environment while maintaining a secure, physical barrier against airborne microbial contaminants.

• Secure Stacking Rings: Engineered with pronounced top and bottom stacking rings to provide exceptional physical stability when transporting or incubating tall stacks of dishes, preventing catastrophic spills.
