Polystyrene Sterile Flat Bottom 24-Well Plate Corning 3.4 mL Wrapped

Description

Product Overview

The Corning 3524 Polystyrene sterile flat‑bottom microplate is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern biomedical research, providing a reliable platform for a wide range of applications including cell culture, biochemical assays, and high‑throughput screening. Constructed from high‑quality, optically clear polystyrene, each well offers a uniform surface that promotes consistent cell attachment and growth. The flat‑bottom design ensures optimal optical clarity for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements, while the 3.4 mL well volume accommodates a variety of experimental protocols without compromising assay sensitivity. Each plate is individually wrapped in a protective barrier that safeguards against contamination and moisture, preserving the sterility of the product from the moment it leaves the manufacturing facility until it is ready for use in the laboratory. The plate conforms to standard SBS footprint dimensions, guaranteeing seamless compatibility with most automated liquid handling systems, plate readers, and incubators. With a robust construction that resists cracking and warping, the Corning 3524 plate delivers durability for repeated handling, making it a cost‑effective choice for high‑volume laboratories.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this 24‑well plate excels in environments ranging from academic research labs to industrial biotech facilities. Its generous well volume supports a variety of cell seeding densities, allowing researchers to culture adherent or suspension cells with ease. The plate is ideal for endpoint assays such as MTT, ELISA, and colorimetric readouts, as well as kinetic measurements that require real‑time monitoring of cellular responses. Because the wells are flat‑bottomed, the plate provides a consistent optical path length, which is essential for accurate spectrophotometric and fluorometric analyses. The sterile, individually wrapped packaging ensures that the plate can be stored for extended periods without risk of microbial contamination, making it suitable for long‑term experiments and batch processing. Moreover, the plate’s compatibility with standard incubators, centrifuges, and robotic platforms streamlines workflow integration, reducing hands‑on time and minimizing the potential for human error.

Why Choose Us

Corning is a globally recognized leader in laboratory consumables, and the 3524 microplate reflects the company’s commitment to quality, precision, and innovation.

FAQ

What type of cells can be cultured in this plate?

The flat‑bottom design supports both adherent and suspension cell lines, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of mammalian, bacterial, and yeast cultures.

Is the plate compatible with automated liquid handling systems?

Yes, the plate conforms to the SBS footprint standard, allowing it to be used with most robotic dispensers, plate readers, and incubators without modification.

How does individual wrapping improve assay performance?

Individual wrapping maintains sterility and prevents moisture ingress, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring that assay conditions remain consistent from plate to plate.

Can the plate be reused after sterilization?

While the plate is designed for single‑use applications to guarantee sterility, it can be autoclaved if a laboratory protocol requires reuse, though performance may vary.

What is the recommended storage condition for the plates?

Store the plates at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity. The individual packaging helps preserve product integrity for up to 12 months.
