2 Product description
The Eppendorf Cell Culture Consumables are suitable for the growth and cultivation of
eukaryotic cells and also for the storage and microscopy of cells.
They are available as Multiwell plate, flasks and dishes with tissue culture-treated (TCT)
for adherent cells and untreated surfaces for suspension cells.
Eppendorf Cell Culture Consumables can be used in training, routine and research
laboratories in the fields of life sciences, industry, or chemistry. The product is intended
for research purposes only. Any other use is not warranted by Eppendorf. Not intended
for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Eppendorf Cell Culture Consumables may only be used by skilled personnel who have
been trained in the areas mentioned above.
2.1 Plates
• Sealing:
The plates are delivered with a lid. The plates can also be sealed with Eppendorf
Storage Film or Eppendorf Storage Foil.
• Photometric measurements:
The plates are suitable for photometric measurements and cell-based assays.
• Centrifugation:
The plates are suitable for centrifugation. The centrifugation of plate stacks is also
possible (see Technical data on p. 7).
• Growth area:
The optimized growth area of the 96-well plate results in an increased yield of the
number of cells.
Mind the comparatively large growth area/well. Note that, depending on the cell
system, more cells may be required for seeding in order to achieve the same cell
density (cell number limit/mm
2 ) as in other 96-well plates.
