Sterile U-Bottom Tissue Culture Plates – Round Bottom Cell Culture Plates
Sterile U-Bottom Tissue Culture Plates provide a reliable, contamination-free platform for cell culture applications requiring cell-to-cell contact, suspension culture, and high-throughput micro-volume assays. Molded in a cleanroom environment from high-transparency polystyrene, these plates offer superior optical clarity for microscopic observation and microplate reader readings. The rounded U-bottom well design facilitates efficient mixing, pellet formation during gentle centrifugation, and maximum liquid recovery with minimal dead volume. Available in standard 96-well configurations, they feature raised well rims and lid rings to reduce condensation and prevent inter-well cross-contamination.
Key Applications:
-
Cell Aggregation & Spheroid Formation: Ideal for 3D cell culture assays, hybridoma production, and embryoid body formation where cell coalescence is required.
-
Suspension Cell Line Culturing: Widely used for growing non-adherent mammalian cells, blood cells, and immunological cell lines.
-
Micro-Volume Biological Assays: Applied in ELISA protocols, hemagglutination testing, drug screening, and serial dilutions across biomedical research laboratories in Pakistan.
