Introduction for Tissue Culture Plate

Cell culture plates can be divided into flat bottom and round bottom (U-shaped and V-shaped) according to the shape of the bottom; the number of culture wells is 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384, 1536, etc.;
Culture plates of different shapes have different uses. For culturing cells, flat bottom plates are usually selected, which is convenient for observation under the microscope, has a clear bottom area, and the height of the cell culture liquid is relatively consistent. Therefore, when doing MTT and other experiments, whether it is adherent or suspended cells, flat bottom plates are generally used. When measuring absorbance, flat bottom culture plates must be used. Pay special attention to the material. The plate marked "Tissue Culture (TC) Treated" is used for culturing cells.
U-shaped or V-shaped plates are generally used when there are some special requirements. For example, in immunology, when two different lymphocytes are mixed and cultured, they need to contact and stimulate each other. At this time, U-shaped plates are generally used because the cells will gather in a very small range due to gravity.
