In this video, discover how Starlab's cell culture plates are designed to prevent the edge effect so you can use all 96 wells of the plate. CytoOne® plates feature chimney wells with a 360 degree open channel around each well. Filling this channel with medium during incubation helps provide an uniform temperature transfer across ALL wells, resulting in a more uniform cell layer.
