The Iwaki gridded 35mm glass cell culture dish for life science laboratories from Sterilin is designed to monitor individual cells over time in culture using confocal laser microscopy.
The ultra-thin gridded glass section enables location of individual cells and calculation of population doubling levels, cell chemotaxis and total cell number. With the benefit of excellent transmittance and low fluorescence, the glass properties allow sensitive fluorescent measurements to be made at high magnification.
The black grid, composed of 364 alpha-numerically labelled squares, is printed on the dish's glass insert and has no impact on cell growth. The dimensions and glass base of the dish make it suitable for most applications and provide a complete solution for fluorescent examination of cultured cells.
Sterilin, based in Caerphilly in Wales, supplies a full range of Iwaki products for cell culture and research purposes. These include standard tissue culture flasks, dishes and multiwells available either treated for adherent cells or non-treated for suspension cultures.
