SECTION 11 Specimen Preparation and Embedding Supplies CELL CULTURE
CultureWell™ Chambered Coverglass With removable chambered coverglass – ideal for cell culture and fluorescence imaging applications.
The 2 x 8, 16 chambered coverglass is like a chambered slide with the imaging advantages of a removable coverglass substructure. It is designed with standard 96 well plate volumes and well spacing. The non-cytotoxic silicone well gasket forms a leak-proof seal between the polystyrene upper structure and the coverglass. CultureWell™ Chambered Coverglass is shipped sterile and ready to use.
KEY PRODUCT DIMENSIONS INCLUDE:
• Coverslip gasket thickness is 0.5 mm
• Interior diameter of each well is approx. 6 mm
• Volume per gasket well (upper structure removed) is approx. 9 µl
• Volume per well with the upper structure is 250 µl

The growth surface is No. 1.5 German borosilicate coverglass.
Inert, non-cytotoxic silicone permits complete edge-to-edge growth of cells.
Well spacing allows use of multi-channel pipettes for ease and speed of handling
Cell growth characteristics are optimal due to the use of inert silicone materials and manufacturing process.
Quality test for non-leakage, cell growth and cover- glass removal to ensure consistent results
Silicone well gasket remains attached to coverglass after separation, allowing wells to be used as reagent reservoirs
Gasket well design is ideally suited for small volume incubations, in-situ hybridization and immunostaining
Black well gasket reduces light scatter, enhancing fluorescence applications. The gasket can easily be removed from the coverglass for mounting
Frosted microscope slides are provided for mounting
CultureWell™ Coverglass Optimal for high resolution microscopy
Chambered coverglass products consists of removable / reusable non-cytotoxic silicone gaskets secured to 24 mm x 50 mm, #1.5 German covergalss. They may be placed in sterile culture plates or 100 mm diameter culture dishes.
The thin flat coverglass is the optimal platform for high resolution microscopy and high- sensitivity, quantitative, fluorescent imaging
Gaskets stabilize coverglass and provide convenient handling using conventional microscope slide hold- ers and accessories
