CultureWell™ with removable chambered coverglass – ideal for cell culture and fluorescence imaging applications
The 2 x 8, 16 chambered coverglass is like a chambered slide with the imaging advantages of a removable coverglass substructure. It is designed with standard 96 well plate volumes and well spacing. The non-cytotoxic silicone well gasket forms a leak-proof seal between the polystyrene upper structure and the coverglass. CultureWell™ Chambered Coverglass is shipped sterile and ready to use.
Features:
- The growth surface is No. 1.5 German borosilicate coverglass.
- Inert, non-cytotoxic silicone permits complete edge-to-edge growth of cells.
- Well spacing allows use of multi-channel pipettes for ease and speed of handling
- Cell growth characteristics are optimal due to the use of inert silicone materials and manufacturing process.
- Quality test for non-leakage, cell growth and coverglass removal to ensure consistent results
- Silicone well gasket remains attached to coverglass after separation, allowing wells to be used as reagent reservoirs
- Gasket well design is ideally suited for small volume incubations, in-situ hybridization and immunostaining
- Black well gasket reduces light scatter, enhancing fluorescence applications. The gasket can easily be removed from the coverglass for mounting
- Frosted microscope slides are provided for mounting
