Edge 96-Well Plate

The Nunc Edge plate has a unique design that minimizes plate evaporation.

Fill each moat section with 1.7 mL sterile water or media; the large evaporation reservoirs eliminate well-to-well variability while dramatically reducing the overall evaporation rate to <2% after 7 days of incubation. In addition to the evaporation barrier, the Edge plate is engineered for optical superiority allowing your automated imaging systems to operate efficiently.

details

Clear polystyrene has excellent optical properties making it ideal for optical measurements
Untreated polystyrene is hydrophobic and is suited for growth of suspension cultures that can proliferate and grow without attachment.
Untreated surfaces are ideal for adding coatings in your lab
Cell Culture Treated: The Nunclon Delta cell culture treated surface is a hydrophilic surface that promotes cell attachment and growth
Customized bar coding is available
Working volume: 50-250 μL/well
Total well volume: 400 μL

Reduced Edge Effect

Virtually eliminates evaporation in lengthy incubations
Use all 96 wells with fewer concerns of edge effect

Low Evaporation Permits Full-plate Results

Unique design minimizes plate evaporation
Large evaporative buffer zones eliminate well-to-well variability
Overall plate evaporation rate reduced to <2% after seven days of incubation
Perimeter moat can be filled with 1.7 mL sterile H2O or media

Optical Properties are Critical

Clear plates are engineered for optical superiority
Low background fluorescence
Extreme well flatness
Ideal for image-based high content applications like measuring primary neuron cultures
