Description
Thermo Scientific Nunc 6-Well Cell Culture Microplate (140675)
The Thermo Scientific 140675 is a premium 6-well microplate designed for the high-performance cultivation of anchorage-dependent cell lines. Manufactured from high-clarity, medical-grade virgin polystyrene, these plates feature the proprietary Nunclon Delta surface treatment—a permanent, chemically modified surface that ensures optimal cell attachment, uniform spreading, and consistent growth rates. Each well provides a generous 9.6 cm² growth area, specifically designed with a flat-bottom geometry to facilitate high-resolution microscopic observation. Delivered sterile and certified non-pyrogenic, the 140675 is the industry standard for researchers performing primary cell culture, toxicity screening, and molecular biology assays where high-quality cell health is paramount.
Technical Performance and Design
-
Nunclon Delta Surface Treatment: Every well is precision-treated to create a hydrophilic surface that promotes rapid cell attachment and exceptional confluence across the entire growth area.
-
Raised Well Rims: Features elevated rims around each well that nest into a specialized lid design, effectively minimizing evaporation and reducing the risk of cross-contamination between wells.
-
Distortion-Free Optics: The flat-bottom design and high-purity polystyrene construction provide glass-like clarity, allowing for sharp visual inspection and high-quality imaging of cell morphology.
-
Automation-Ready ANSI Footprint: Designed to meet standard microplate dimensions, ensuring physical compatibility with robotic liquid handlers, plate readers, and automated incubators.
