Description

Achieving consistent cell attachment, reliable growth, and reproducible assay results is a common challenge in cell culture workflows. This 48 Well Cell Culture Plate is designed to provide a controlled and efficient culture environment through a high-quality tissue culture treated (TC treated) polystyrene surface, supporting reliable attachment and growth of adherent cells.

Manufactured from optically clear polystyrene, this 48 well tissue culture plate features a flat bottom design that provides excellent optical clarity for microscopy imaging, fluorescence observation, and cell-based analysis. The TC-treated surface improves surface wettability and promotes consistent cell adhesion, helping researchers achieve uniform cell growth and dependable experimental outcomes.

Each sterile 48 well plate is gamma irradiated, DNase/RNase free, non-pyrogenic, and non-cytotoxic, making it suitable for routine cell culture, drug screening, cell viability assays, transfection studies, and biotechnology research applications requiring multiple experimental conditions with reduced reagent consumption.

The standard multiwell plate footprint allows compatibility with common incubators, microscopes, plate readers, and laboratory automation platforms, making this 48 well multiwell plate a practical solution for medium-throughput cell culture and analysis workflows.

Why Choose 48 Well TC Treated Cell Culture Plates?

The 48 well cell culture plate provides an excellent balance between experimental throughput and available culture surface area. Compared with traditional larger well formats, the 48 well format allows researchers to perform more experimental conditions while reducing media and reagent consumption. The TC treated surface promotes consistent cell attachment, while the clear flat bottom design supports high-quality microscopy imaging and cell-based analysis. This makes the 48 well tissue culture plate a reliable choice for routine cell culture, drug screening, and biotechnology research workflows.
