Falcon Cell Culture Dish 35 mm by Corning – Gamma Irradiated, 9.6 cm²

Description

Product Overview

The Corning Falcon Cell Culture Dish is engineered to meet the exacting standards of modern cell biology laboratories. With a 35 mm diameter and a working volume of 2.5 mL to 3 mL, the dish offers a 9.6 cm² culture area that maximizes cell attachment while minimizing reagent consumption. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the dish provides exceptional flatness and optical clarity, essential for microscopic observation and imaging. Each dish undergoes gamma irradiation, a sterilization method that eliminates microbial contaminants without compromising the structural integrity of the glass. The process also renders the dish non‑pyrogenic, reducing the risk of endotoxin‑induced cellular responses. Packaged in peel‑open bags, the dishes remain protected from environmental exposure until ready for use, ensuring a sterile, ready‑to‑go product for every experiment.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of applications, the Falcon Cell Culture Dish excels in routine tissue culture, high‑throughput screening, and specialized assays such as immunocytochemistry and live‑cell imaging. Its compact footprint fits comfortably into standard incubators, laminar flow hoods, and multi‑well plate readers, making it a versatile choice for both small‑scale pilot studies and large‑scale production workflows. Researchers in academic institutions, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies rely on the dish’s consistent performance for experiments that demand precise control over cell density, nutrient exchange, and gas permeability. The flat, distortion‑free surface promotes uniform cell spreading, which is critical for reproducible results in wound‑healing assays, migration studies, and drug‑response evaluations.

FAQ

What is the advantage of gamma irradiation over other sterilization methods?

Gamma irradiation eliminates microorganisms without generating heat or moisture, preserving the physical and chemical properties of the glass. This results in a dish that remains flat, clear, and free of residues that could interfere with cell growth.

Can the dish be autoclaved after use?

Yes, the borosilicate glass construction tolerates standard autoclave cycles, allowing you to sterilize the dish for reuse in certain applications, provided that the surface remains intact and free of scratches.

Is the dish compatible with standard laboratory equipment?

The 35 mm diameter fits into most incubators, plate readers, and imaging platforms designed for standard well plates, making it a drop‑in solution for existing workflows.

How does the non‑pyrogenic property benefit cell culture experiments?

Non‑pyrogenic dishes have low endotoxin levels, reducing the risk of unintended activation of immune pathways in sensitive cell lines, which can otherwise skew experimental outcomes.

What support does Corning provide if I encounter an issue?

Corning offers dedicated technical assistance, detailed product specifications, and a responsive customer service team to address any questions or concerns throughout the product lifecycle.
