Diamond SureGro Cell Culture Dish 100x15mm with Gripping Ring 10/Bag

Description

Product Overview

The Diamond SureGro Cell Culture Dish is engineered for researchers who demand consistency, reliability, and ease of use in every cell‑based experiment. Measuring 100 × 15 mm, the dish provides a generous surface area while maintaining a compact footprint that fits standard incubators, laminar flow hoods, and multi‑well plate formats. The flat, tissue‑culture‑treated (TC) surface has been optimized through proprietary surface chemistry to promote uniform cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation across a wide range of cell lines, from delicate primary cultures to robust immortalized lines.

Manufactured from virgin USP Class VI polystyrene, each dish is produced in a Class 100,000 (ISO 5) cleanroom environment to guarantee the highest level of particulate control. After molding, the dishes undergo gamma irradiation to achieve a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶, ensuring that every unit arrives completely free of microbial contaminants. The material selection and sterilization process also render the dishes RNase‑, DNase‑free and non‑pyrogenic, eliminating sources of enzymatic degradation or endotoxin‑related interference that could compromise experimental outcomes.

Designed with the end‑user in mind, the dish incorporates a molded gripping ring that allows technicians to handle the product securely while wearing disposable or reusable gloves. The removable lid, crafted from the same high‑quality polystyrene, provides a tight seal to maintain sterility during incubation yet can be easily lifted for rapid media changes, staining, or microscopy without risking sample loss. A subtle positioning mark on the lid assists in aligning the dish within multi‑dish racks, facilitating reproducible placement and minimizing the risk of cross‑contamination.

Packaging is equally thoughtful: each dish is sealed in a re‑closable, anti‑static bag that protects the surface from dust, moisture, and static discharge during storage and transport. The bags are labeled with clear, laser‑etched identifiers that survive autoclave cycles, allowing laboratories to track inventory without compromising the sterile barrier. The product is supplied in convenient quantities of ten dishes per bag and five hundred dishes per case, providing flexibility for both small‑scale pilot studies and large‑scale high‑throughput screening projects.

Usage

Diamond SureGro dishes are ideally suited for a broad spectrum of cell‑culture applications, including adherent cell proliferation, differentiation assays, drug‑screening platforms, and three‑dimensional scaffold studies. The consistent TC‑treated surface supports rapid cell attachment within minutes, reducing the lag time between seeding and experimental readout. Researchers working with sensitive primary cells, stem cells, or engineered tissue constructs will appreciate the low background fluorescence and minimal leaching characteristics of the USP‑grade polystyrene, which help preserve assay sensitivity and signal‑to‑noise ratios.

In routine laboratory workflows, the gripping ring enables effortless transfer of dishes between biosafety cabinets, incubators, and imaging stations without the need for additional tools or forceps. The removable lid can be opened and closed repeatedly without compromising the sterile environment, making the dish compatible with media exchanges, reagent additions, and live‑cell imaging protocols that require frequent access. Because the dish dimensions conform to standard 96‑well plate spacing, multiple dishes can be stacked securely using the integrated stacking rings, optimizing incubator space and facilitating parallel processing of numerous experimental conditions.

For long‑term storage, the re‑closable bags provide a barrier against moisture and airborne contaminants, allowing dishes to be kept at room temperature for up to twelve months without degradation of surface performance. When placed in a 4 °C refrigerator, the dishes retain their TC‑treated properties, offering laboratories the flexibility to batch‑prepare plates ahead of time and reduce daily preparation workload. The product’s compatibility with common sterilization methods, including ethanol rinses and UV exposure, further extends its utility in specialized workflows that demand additional aseptic safeguards.

FAQ

What cell types are compatible with the Diamond SureGro dish?

The dish is designed for a wide range of adherent cell lines, including primary cells, stem cells, cancer cell lines, and engineered tissue constructs. Its TC‑treated surface supports both fast‑growing and delicate cell types, making it suitable for proliferation, differentiation, and drug‑screening assays.

Can the dishes be autoclaved after opening?

Yes. The dishes are gamma‑irradiated to SAL 10⁻⁶ and can withstand standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 psi, 30 minutes) without compromising the TC‑treated surface. Autoclaving is recommended only if additional sterility is required for specific protocols.

How should the dishes be stored for long‑term use?

Store the sealed bags at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. For extended storage beyond six months, refrigeration at 4 °C is acceptable and helps preserve surface performance. Avoid freezing, as this may alter the polymer structure.

Are the dishes compatible with high‑content imaging systems?

Absolutely. The low‑fluorescence polystyrene and flat bottom design provide excellent optical clarity for fluorescence, bright‑field, and phase‑contrast microscopy. The removable lid can be replaced with a glass coverslip if higher resolution imaging is required.

What support does Globe Scientific provide after purchase?

Globe Scientific offers a 12‑month warranty covering manufacturing defects, as well as a dedicated technical support line staffed by experienced scientists. Customers can request protocol optimization guides, validation documents, and assistance with regulatory submissions at no additional cost.
