Description
Generate, culture, assay and analyze your spheroids all in one microplate. Corning recently launched a new 1536-well spheroid microplate which features opaque walls and clear, round well-bottom geometry as well as the proprietary Corning Ultra-Low Attachment surface, which is hydrophilic, biologically inert and non-degradable. All Corning spheroid microplates feature a unique well-bottom design that enables highly reproducible growth of 3D spheroid cultures. The opaque side walls and proprietary gridded bottom design reduce well-to-well cross-talk and background fluorescence/luminescence. The 1536-well format enables a higher volume of spheroid growth for high throughput screening.
- Corning spheroid microplates – 96-well - Corning Cat. Nos. 4520 and 4515
- Corning spheroid microplates – 384-well - (Corning Cat. Nos. 3830, 3830BC, and 4516)
- Corning spheroid microplates – 1536-well - (Corning Cat. No. 4527) formats
All formats are automation friendly.
Features: - Ideal to generate and analyze 3D multicellular spheroids in the same microplate
- The spheroid microplate is optimized for visualization, thanks to the black opaque microplate body, which reduces well-to-well cross talk
- An excellent tool to create uniform, centered, single spheroid formation across all wells with a simple and easy to use “plug and play” protocol
- No specialized equipment is required and the Corning spheroid microplate is compatible with HTS instruments
- Easy for media or buffer change
- No transfer step necessary for visualization or assay, reduces the risk of damaging your work because there are fewer steps which leaves less of a chance of harming your cell culture and it’s also less cost per run
