Wells, Optical Bottom Plates, Cell Culture Inserts

MicroWell® Plates
MicroWell Plates are used in a broad spectrum of applications, including cloning experiments, sample incubations, and in tissue culture based analytical systems. Our MicroWell Plates have excellent cell attachment. All styles are designed to be stackable and are radiation sterilized.
µ 10µl Well Plates
They are Terasaki format plates measuring 56x82mm and having 60 or 72 wells. Wells are shaped like inverted truncated cones, each with a working volume of 10µl. The well surface is Nunclon® treated for good cell attachment. Lids incorporate a stacking feature and are tight-fitting, which reduces evaporation.
µ 96 Well Plates
These plates measure 86x128mm and come in either flat or round bottom wells. Vented lids allow for gas exchange and have condensation rings to control evaporation and retain condensate. Lids are keyed so they cannot be accidentally reversed. Plates have alpha-numeric markings on its two edges. In addition, flat bottom plates have individual well coordinates beside each well for easy well identification when using an inverted microscope. Plates also have raised well rims to provide proper attachment of adhesive sealing film.

Cover Slips; Thermanox®; TMX Coverslips
NUNC™ Brand Thernanox®, or TMX coverslips are made from a polymer (in the polyolefin family) that is highly resistant to most chemicals. Thermanox® plastic is resistant to alcohols, aldehydes, hydrocarbons, dilute acids (<10%) and dilute alkalis (<2%). TMX has limited resistance to chlorinated hydro-carbons, however, it is not resistant to concentrated acids or bases.Thermanox® plastic is a flexible, trans-parent polymer that can be sectioned using a microtome and is able to withstand high temp-eratures (temperature range –70ºC to +150ºC). Thermanox® coverslips are culture treated on one side for enhanced cell attachment and growth. The treated side is packaged face up toward the label.
Features:
- Flat and remain flat
- 0.2mm (No. 2) thickness
- Resistant to commonly used solvents
- Safe and easy to handle
- Auto fluorescent in the range 380 to 545 nm
- Thernanox® cover slips can be autoclaved at 20 minutes steam, 20 minutes dry at 120°C
