This application note is a compendium of techniques, collected from Corning Cell Culture facilities and customers, to reduce the occurrence of irregular patterns of cell adhesion or “edge effect” in microplates.

Corning® 384-well Black/Clear Round Bottom Ultra-Low Attachment Spheroid Microplate, Bulk Packed 10 per Bag, with Lid, Sterile

Corning Life Sciences

Ultra-Low Attachment microplates feature a covalently bound hydrogel layer that effectively inhibits cellular attachment Surface minimizes protein absorption, enzyme activation and cellular activation Surface is noncytotoxic, biologically inert and nondegradable Sterilized by gamma irradiation Black wall microplates have low background fluorescence, minimal light scatter and reduced crosstalk Opaque walls to prevent well-to-well crosstalk Can be used for both top and bottom reading instruments Bulk packed 10 per bag Novel well geometry aids formation of spheroids in center of well Optically clear round bottom with black opaque microplate body
