opto-mechanical treatment of growth area for optimal cell adhesion
lid with air-venting system guarantees controlled gas exchange with low evaporation
sloped edge allows placement of the lid in one position only
yellow marking area on lid and plate ensure correct lid orientation: yellow on yellow – match!
ridged grip area ensures a secure grasp and prevents from accidentally lifting off the lid
clear alpha-numerical labelling between the wells for easy orientation during microscopy, easy to see black alpha-numerics on the side
growth area on spherical zone only
absolutely flat growth surface
all TPP plate sizes (6, 12, 24, 48 and 96-well) stack securely together
air vents in plate base prevent condensation and provide consistent air-flow between stacked plates
crystal clear transparency
Additional advantages of the TPP tissue culture test plates with 96 wells
manufactured meeting the standards ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 through ANSI/SLAS 4-2004
2 well geometries available: F-base and U-base
How to Reference Microplate Standards
Because SLAS is not a standardizing organization, but a society that provides a working group the ability and platform to standardize along with ANSI (the American National Standards Institute), in the event that the ANSI/SLAS Microplate Standards are to be used in advertisements, product releases, or abstracts, the standards must be referred by:
ANSI/SLAS 1-2004: Microplates — Footprint Dimensions
ANSI/SLAS 2-2004: Microplates — Height Dimensions
ANSI/SLAS 3-2004: Microplates — Bottom Outside Flange Dimensions
ANSI/SLAS 4-2004: Microplates — Well Positions
ANSI/SLAS 6-2012: Microplates — Well Bottom Elevation
(Either singularly, or as a whole)
