Microplate Enhances Work with 3-D Cell Cultures

The Corning 1536-well Spheroid Microplate helps scientists generate a higher volume of spheroids for high-throughput screening, which is especially beneficial in cancer research and drug testing.

To help streamline work with 3-D cell cultures in an automated environment, the 1536-well spheroid microplate features a novel and proprietary design that allows scientists to generate, culture, assay and analyze 3-D multicellular spheroids in one microplate. The microplate eliminates the need for a transfer step in visualization or biochemical assays, reducing the risk of cell damage or loss. As with all proprietary spheroid microplates, the 1536-well plate features round-well bottoms and a Ultra-Low Attachment (ULA) surface coating to enable uniform, centered, single-spheroid formation across all wells with a simple and easy to use plug-and-play protocol. It is also optimized for visualization with an optically clear well-bottom and black opaque microplate body to reduce well-to-well crosstalk.
