BD 353025 Falcon Clear Polystyrene Cell Culture Dish 20mm Grid 150mm

Description

Product Overview

The BD 353025 Falcon Integrid Clear Polystyrene Cell Culture Dish is engineered for precision and reliability in modern cell biology workflows. Constructed from standard tissue‑culture‑grade polystyrene, the dish offers a clear, distortion‑free surface that supports high‑resolution microscopic observation without compromising cell health. Its 150 mm diameter provides ample area for cell spreading, while the integrated 20 mm molded grid enables consistent seeding patterns and easy region identification. With a working volume of 45‑50 mL, the dish accommodates a wide range of assay formats, from routine proliferation studies to more specialized applications such as drug screening and toxicity testing. Each dish is sterilized by gamma irradiation, guaranteeing a non‑pyrogenic environment that meets stringent laboratory standards. Packaged in peel‑open, medical‑style bags, the dishes remain sterile until the moment of use, simplifying workflow and reducing the risk of contamination.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the BD 353025 Falcon dish fits seamlessly into a variety of laboratory settings. It is ideal for academic research labs, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical development facilities that require reproducible cell culture conditions. The clear polystyrene material allows for direct observation of cell morphology under phase‑contrast or fluorescence microscopes, making it suitable for routine monitoring, immunofluorescence staining, and live‑cell imaging. The 20 mm grid assists researchers in defining sub‑areas for localized treatments, such as gradient formation or patterned seeding, while the generous volume supports medium changes and sampling without disturbing the cell monolayer. Because the dish is compatible with standard incubators, autoclaves, and plate readers, it integrates effortlessly into existing protocols, reducing the need for additional equipment or specialized accessories.
