Corning® Elplasia® 96-well Black/Clear Round Bottom Ultra-Low Attachment, Microcavity Microplate, with Lid

Description

Suitable for mid-throughput applications, the Corning Elplasia 96-well microplate is designed for spheroid-based assays. It employs round-bottom wells, which are conducive to the formation of single, centered spheroids. The plate's construction features black walls to reduce optical crosstalk and a clear bottom for imaging and spectroscopic measurements. The microcavity surface is coated with an ultra-low attachment (ULA) material, a hydrogel that minimizes protein binding and cell adhesion, thereby facilitating the natural aggregation of cells into three-dimensional structures. A lid is included. This Elplasia plate aims to simplify and standardize scaffold-free spheroid culture, making it a potential tool for more reproducible drug screening, cytotoxicity testing, and basic research in a standard microplate format.
