All-in-one Thermo Scientific Edge Microplate 96 Well 400 Ul Clear Ps Case Of 108 Plates Kit [zWf6ISEN]

The Thermo Scientific 243656 Edge Microplate is a 96-well microplate specifically engineered to minimize evaporation, a common challenge in cell culture and long-term assays. This plate features a substantial 400 µl well capacity and is constructed from clear polystyrene (PS), a material known for its optical clarity, which is essential for visual inspection and optical measurements.

The distinguishing characteristic of this microplate is its unique "Edge" design. This innovative design incorporates an evaporation barrier or moat around the perimeter of the plate. This moat can be filled with liquid, such as sterile water or media, to create a humidity barrier that significantly reduces evaporation from the outer wells. This feature is particularly beneficial for prolonged incubations, as it helps to maintain consistent sample volumes and concentrations across the entire plate. The flat bottom design of the wells is ideal for microscopy and accurate optical readings.

The inclusion of a lid further enhances the plate's ability to maintain a controlled environment, preventing contamination and reducing evaporation. This Thermo Scientific Edge Microplate is a valuable tool for cell biologists, pharmacologists, and researchers performing sensitive assays or long-term cell cultures where minimizing evaporation is crucial for reliable and reproducible results
