Corning Falcon® #353001, 35 mm TC-Treated Easy-Grip Style Cell Culture Dish, (Pack of 20)

Description

Product Overview

The Corning Falcon® 35 mm TC‑treated Easy‑Grip cell culture dish is engineered for researchers who demand optical clarity and durability in routine cell‑based assays. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the dish provides a low‑profile, thin‑wall design that minimizes light distortion, enabling crisp imaging under a range of microscope objectives. The TC (tissue‑culture) treatment creates a surface that promotes cell attachment and uniform growth, reducing the need for additional coating steps. Each dish measures 35 mm in diameter, fitting standard incubators, centrifuges, and plate readers without modification. The Easy‑Grip rim offers a tactile, non‑slip edge that simplifies handling, especially when transferring dishes between workstations. Packaged in a convenient box of 20, the product ensures consistent supply for high‑throughput experiments, from routine maintenance cultures to complex drug‑screening workflows.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of laboratory applications, this dish excels in primary cell culture, immortalized cell lines, stem‑cell propagation, and tissue‑engineered constructs. Its clear glass surface supports phase‑contrast, bright‑field, and fluorescence microscopy, allowing researchers to monitor cell morphology, confluence, and viability in real time. The TC‑treated surface is compatible with a variety of media formulations, including serum‑free and specialized differentiation cocktails, ensuring reliable attachment across diverse cell types. The low‑profile design reduces the distance between the specimen and objective lens, improving numerical aperture utilization and image resolution. Because the dish is chemically inert, it resists absorption of small molecules, making it suitable for pharmacological assays where compound stability is critical. The Easy‑Grip rim reduces the risk of accidental drops during incubation changes, and the standardized 35 mm size integrates seamlessly with automated liquid‑handling platforms, enhancing reproducibility in high‑content screening.

Why Choose Us

Corning’s reputation for glassware excellence spans more than a century, and the Falcon line embodies that legacy through rigorous quality control and consistent performance. Each dish undergoes a multi‑stage inspection process that verifies dimensional accuracy, surface uniformity, and optical clarity, guaranteeing that every batch meets the same exacting standards. The TC‑treated coating is applied using a proprietary plasma‑enhancement technique that creates a stable, hydrophilic surface without the need for additional reagents, saving time and reducing variability. Our packaging of 20 dishes per box is optimized for laboratory inventory management, minimizing storage footprint while providing a reliable backup stock. In addition, Corning offers responsive technical support and a comprehensive warranty that covers manufacturing defects, reinforcing confidence in long‑term usage. By selecting this product, laboratories benefit from a combination of material science expertise, user‑centric design, and a service network that addresses both routine queries and specialized troubleshooting.

FAQ

What types of cells can be cultured in this dish?

The dish is suitable for a wide range of cell types, including adherent mammalian cell lines, primary cells, stem cells, and specialized cultures such as neurons and endothelial cells. The TC‑treated surface supports both serum‑containing and serum‑free media formulations.

Is the dish compatible with automated liquid‑handling systems?

Yes. The 35 mm diameter conforms to standard plate formats used by most robotic platforms, and the low‑profile design allows easy access for pipette tips and dispensing heads without collision.

Can the dish be sterilized again after opening?

While the dish is supplied sterile, it can be re‑sterilized using standard autoclave cycles (121 °C for 15 minutes) without compromising the TC‑treated coating or glass integrity.

What is the recommended storage condition?

Store the dishes in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations to maintain surface performance.

How does the Easy‑Grip rim improve laboratory workflow?

The ergonomic rim reduces slippage when handling the dish, especially when wearing gloves, and minimizes the risk of breakage during transfers between incubators, microscopes, and other workstations.
