Product Description
The CELLTREAT® 229124 is a 24-well tissue culture treated flat-bottom plate with lid — sterile, clear polystyrene, individually packaged in a sturdy blister pack, and designed with a suite of premium features that directly improve cell culture performance, contamination control, and workflow efficiency. Cell culture treatment process provides consistent and even hydrophilic surface for improved cell attachment. Polystyrene is optically clear for easy cell viewing and imaging. Each well has a raised rim which nests into the rings on the single direction lid to reduce evaporation and limit the risk of cross contamination. Lids have a stacking feature for added stability when handling tall stacks of plates. Each well provides 1.93cm² of growth area with a uniform flat bottom. Sterile by gamma irradiation. 100 plates per case, individually packaged in blister packs of 50 per sleeve.
TC-Treated Surface — Consistent, Uniform Cell Attachment Across All 24 Wells Cell culture treatment process provides consistent and even hydrophilic surface for improved cell attachment. The tissue culture treatment of the 229124 creates a negatively charged hydrophilic surface across the flat bottom of every well — mimicking the natural extracellular environment and promoting consistent attachment and spreading of anchorage-dependent cells. The uniformity of the TC treatment process is tightly controlled across all 24 wells, ensuring equivalent cell attachment kinetics and growth rates in every position on the plate — critical for comparative assays, multi-condition experiments, and any workflow where well-to-well consistency directly affects data quality.
Optically Clear Polystyrene — Direct Microscopic Observation Polystyrene is optically clear for easy cell viewing and imaging. The clear polystyrene construction of the 229124 allows direct observation of cell morphology, confluency, and health under an inverted microscope without removing the plate from the incubator — enabling routine monitoring and documentation without disturbing cultures. The flat-bottom well geometry ensures a uniform focal plane across the entire well bottom for consistent microscopic imaging.
Single-Direction Lid with Raised Rim Nesting Rings — Reduced Evaporation and Cross-Contamination Each well has a raised rim which nests into the rings on the single direction lid to reduce evaporation and limit the risk of cross contamination. The raised rim on each well creates a physical registration interface with the rings on the single-direction lid — forming a well-specific micro-seal around every well opening that significantly reduces evaporation from individual wells and limits the risk of aerosol cross-contamination between wells during routine plate handling. The single-direction lid design ensures the lid can only be placed in one correct orientation — preventing accidental mis-orientation and maintaining the precise well-to-lid ring alignment required for the anti-evaporation feature to function correctly.
Alpha-Numeric Well Markings — Instant Well Identification Plates are labeled with alpha-numeric markings for easy identification of individual wells. Every 229124 plate is molded with clear alpha-numeric well labels (A1 through D6) on both the plate base and the lid — allowing instant identification of specific wells during pipetting, microscopy, imaging, and data recording without the need for manual labeling or external reference grids. The consistent alpha-numeric format is compatible with standard plate reader, imaging system, and liquid handling robot well addressing conventions.
Stacking Lid Feature — Stability for Tall Plate Stacks Lids have a stacking feature for added stability when handling tall stacks of plates. The molded stacking feature on the lid provides positive mechanical registration with the base of the plate above — creating stable, self-aligning stacks of multiple plates in the incubator, on the benchtop, and during transport. This prevents sliding, tipping, and collapse of tall plate stacks that can displace cell cultures from the well bottom and cause contamination during incubation.
Individual Blister Pack Packaging — Sterility Protection and Physical Protection Sturdy individual blister pack prevents damage when handling or shipping. Each 229124 plate is individually sealed in a sturdy blister pack — maintaining sterility until the moment of use while protecting the plate from physical damage during shipping and handling. The blister pack format provides a significantly higher level of individual plate protection compared to sleeve-only packaging where plates can be damaged by compression or impact during transit. A bulk packaging option (5 plates per sleeve) is also available as part number 229197 for high-volume users who prefer the efficiency of sleeve packaging.
Lot Number and Expiration Date Printed on Every Plate Every 229124 plate is printed with the lot number and expiration date for easy identification and traceability — supporting GMP documentation, quality management requirements, and any regulated cell culture environment where consumable lot traceability is required.
