FAQs

What is the well layout, growth area and working volume of this plate?

This 48-well plate features 48 culture wells arranged evenly. Each well offers approximately 0.88 cm² of growth area, with a recommended medium working volume between 0.19 mL and 0.285 mL. These dimensions support consistent cell coverage and efficient reagent use in adherent-cell assays.

What surface treatment is applied and why is it important?

The plate has a tissue culture (TC) treated flat bottom surface. This hydrophilic treatment improves cell adhesion, spreading and viability for adherent cell types, making it suitable for cell biology, screening and assay workflows requiring reliable cell growth.

What material is the plate constructed from and what is its sterility status?

The plate is molded from 100 % virgin polystyrene and is sterile, having undergone E-beam sterilization. It is DNase/RNase-free, non-pyrogenic and includes lot numbering for traceability, ensuring a clean, contaminant-controlled surface for sensitive cell culture applications.

What is the lid design and how does it benefit evaporation control?

The plate uses a low-profile lid (and in some designs a “labyrinth” or condensation ring lid) to minimise evaporation and cross-contamination. Reducing head space and controlling condensation maintains stable culture conditions—important for long-term incubations and automated workflows.

Which applications are best suited for this 48-well plate?

Ideal applications include adherent cell line culture, high-throughput screening, assay development, cytotoxicity testing and robotic automation. Its 48-well format balances enough replicates per plate with manageable reagent volumes and compatibility with standard lab instrumentation.
