Imaging Plates CG are black multiwell plates compliant to the SBS (Society for Biomolecular Screening) standard-format with cover glass bottoms made from borosilicate glass. The plate bodies are made from polystyrene and tightly bonded to the cover glass. Our Multiwellplates can be used for high resolution Live Cell Imaging. In addition direct fixation and staining within the plates are possible (formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, alcohols and acetone can be used). Acetone should not be applied more than 10 minutes because the plate body is made from polystyrene and subsequent to the material reaction the cover glass may detach. Imaging Plates CG can be used at temperatures between -20°C and 50°C. Due to the cover glass bottom the application of high resolution immersion objectives with high numerical aperture is possible. Water, oil and glycerin can be used as immersion media.
Cover glasses are still the best choice as object carrier for high resolution light microscopy. Imaging Plate CG products are equipped with a bottom made from 145µm or 170 µm thick borosilicate glass. Cell adhesion, spreading and distribution are improved by our proven plasma surface modification technology. To support this, the glass is modified by plasma treatment to increase the number of amino groups on the substrate surface.
All Imaging Plates have a black plate body to suppress cross signals and to prevent excitation of regions out of interest in epifluorescence applications. Each single plate has a lid, is individually packaged, and is distributed as a unit box of 20 pieces. The lid contains condensation rings, stacking pins and spacers for an optimal ventilation
They are free of detectable DNase, RNase and human DNA, free of detectable endotoxins and free of cytotoxic substances.
Note: All polymer plate bodies react to temperature shifts with dimensional changes. Please take care that the plate and its environment have equal temperature during microscopy to minimize focal shifts and reduce refocusing.
TC = Tissue Culture, amine coated surface, suitable for most adherend cell lines (e.g. HEK U293, HepG2, MCF-7). Sensitive cell lines (e.g. PC-12) and some primary cell types benefit from additional surface coatings with ECM proteins or equivalent coatings.
