Cell culture consumables

Dishes, plates, flasks, pipettes, cryovials, and filters directly affect contamination risk, gas exchange, and imaging compatibility. Match well format, bottom thickness, and surface treatment to scale and automation to limit edge effects and mechanical damage.

Selection checklist

  • Adherent vs suspension: low-attachment needs, vented vs sealed caps.
  • Imaging: glass-bottom, thin-bottom, black/clear walls for HCI and background control.
  • Cryo & logistics: internal/external thread caps, 2D-barcoded vials, and controlled-rate boxes.

Contamination control

Single-use consumables are not validated for reprocessing—avoid reuse. Segregate storage by cell line with clear traceable labeling.

At a glance

Culture surface
TC-treated plastic supports adherent spreading; low-attachmentware for spheroids or aggregates.
Plates & throughput
6/12/24/96/384 formats for different screening throughput—manage edge effects and evaporation.
Sterility & QC claims
Pyrogen-free and nuclease-free claims per catalog; use promptly in a laminar hood after opening.
