Tissue Culture Plates

Tissue culture plates are flat multi-well plates or plates with wells that are specifically treated so cells can adhere and grow under lab conditions. They are essential for experiments involving adherent cells, cell assays, or long-term culture in controlled media.

These plates are often made from high-quality, optically clear polystyrene that is surface-treated using plasma or similar methods to make the the surface hydrophilic, allowing better adherence of cells. Untreated plates are more suitable for suspension cell cultures.

Consider number of wells (6, 12, 24, etc.), well volume, bottom geometry (flat for microscopy or assays), and whether you need treated vs untreated surfaces depending on cell type. Also check if wells have raised rims or lids to reduce evaporation or contamination.

Yes, good quality tissue culture plates are sterilized (by methods like gamma irradiation) and often certified to be free of DNase, RNase, pyrogens, and other contaminants so that delicate cell cultures are not harmed

Yes — labs in Calgary, Toronto, Alberta, and Ontario can order in bulk from suppliers like Max Biochem. Reach out to the sales team for bulk pricing and custom order options.

Max Biochem plates are designed with reliable surface treatment, clarity for microscopy or assays, and good quality control so that adherent cell experiments and other tissue culture work are more reliable and reproducible.
