Cell Culture Plates And Dishes
Cell Culture Plates For Sterile Laboratory Workflows
Cell culture plates and dishes are essential consumables for laboratories growing, maintaining, observing or testing cells under controlled conditions. The visible range includes Costar treated multiple well plates, Cole-Parmer sterile tissue culture plates, Thermo Scientific Nunc culture dishes and Nunc Nunclon multiwell plates in commonly used 6-well, 12-well, 24-well and 96-well formats.
- Treated Culture Surfaces: Tissue culture treated plates support cell attachment and growth for adherent cell culture workflows.
- Multiwell Formats: 6-well, 12-well, 24-well and 96-well plates support parallel testing, assay development and comparative studies.
- Sterile Packaging: Sterile plates and dishes help reduce contamination risk in research, diagnostics and teaching laboratories.
- Specialist Surfaces: Ultra-low attachment treated plates can support workflows where reduced cell adhesion is required.
- Dish And Insert Options: Culture dishes and inserts provide additional formats for cell growth, observation and experimental setup.
How To Choose Cell Culture Plates And Dishes
When selecting cell culture consumables, match the plate format, surface treatment, sterility, well geometry and case quantity to the intended workflow. Treated surfaces are commonly chosen for adherent cell culture, while non-treated formats may suit suspension culture or specific assay requirements. Researchers running parallel experiments should compare well count, working volume and compatibility with incubators, microscopes and plate readers.
- Well Count: Choose 6-well or 12-well plates for larger culture volumes, and 24-well or 96-well plates for higher-throughput assay work.
- Surface Treatment: Select treated, non-treated or ultra-low attachment surfaces based on cell type and experimental objective.
- Optical Requirements: Consider clear polystyrene, flat-bottom wells or specialised optical formats for imaging and absorbance workflows.
- Workflow Scale: Review pack size and case quantity for routine laboratory stock control, teaching labs or high-volume research facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are cell culture plates used for?
Cell culture plates are used to grow, maintain and test cells in controlled laboratory conditions. They are widely used in research, diagnostics, pharmaceutical development, assay workflows and life science teaching laboratories.
What is the difference between treated and non-treated cell culture plates?
Treated cell culture plates are designed to support attachment of adherent cells. Non-treated plates may be selected for suspension culture or workflows where cell attachment is not required.
Which well format should I choose for cell culture?
Choose the well format based on sample volume, throughput and assay design. Larger 6-well and 12-well plates suit higher culture volumes, while 24-well and 96-well plates support parallel testing and higher-throughput workflows.
