Corning 353226, Clear Cell Culture Plate 24 Well Flat-Bottom w/lid, 36 per Case

Description

Product Overview

The Corning 353226 Clear Cell Culture Plate is engineered for precision and durability in demanding laboratory environments. Constructed from high-grade borosilicate glass, the plate offers exceptional optical clarity, allowing researchers to monitor cell morphology and confluency without distortion. The flat-bottom wells provide a uniform surface that promotes even cell attachment and growth, essential for reproducible experimental results. Each of the 24 wells is sized to accommodate standard culture volumes, and the secure, snap‑fit lid minimizes contamination risk while maintaining a stable environment for sensitive cell lines.

Designed with a low‑profile rim, the plate fits comfortably into most incubators, centrifuges, and plate readers, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. The clear glass also facilitates easy visualization under phase‑contrast and fluorescence microscopes, reducing the need for additional imaging accessories. With a case of 36 plates, laboratories can maintain a consistent supply for routine assays, high‑throughput screening, and long‑term culture projects.

Usage

This plate is ideal for a wide range of cell culture applications, including adherent and suspension cell lines, stem cell maintenance, and co‑culture systems. Its sterile lid creates a closed environment that helps preserve humidity and temperature stability, crucial for prolonged incubations. Researchers can use the plate for routine passaging, drug testing, toxicity assays, and immunocytochemistry, benefiting from the reliable well geometry that supports uniform reagent distribution.

In addition to standard tissue culture, the plate performs well in specialized protocols such as transfection, electroporation, and 3‑D spheroid formation when combined with appropriate scaffolding materials. The robust glass construction resists chemical degradation from common solvents and fixatives, making it suitable for downstream processing steps like staining and imaging. Whether in academic research, biotech development, or clinical laboratory settings, the Corning 353226 plate delivers consistent performance across diverse experimental conditions.
