The Imaging Plate CG is a black multiwell plate compliant to the SBS (Society for Biomolecular Screening) standard-format with a cover glass bottom made from borosilicate glass. The plate bodies are made from polystyrene and tightly bonded to the cover glass. The Imaging Plate CG can be used for high resolution Live Cell Imaging. In addition direct fixation and staining within the plates is possible (formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, alcohols and acetone can be used). Acetone should not be applied more than 10 minutes because the plate body is made from polystyrene and subsequent to the material reaction the cover glass may detach. Imaging Plate CG can be used between -20°C and 50°C. Due to the cover glass bottom the application of high resolution immersion objectives with high numerical aperture is possible. Water, oil and glycerin can be used as immersion media.
Cell adhesion, spreading and distribution are supported by our approved plasma surface modification.
The cover glass is still the best performing object carrier for high resolution light microscopy. Imaging Plate CG products are equipped with a bottom made from 145µm or 170µm thick borosilicate glass. To support cell adhesion, spreading and equal distribution the glass is plasma modified to increase the amount of amino groups.
All Imaging Plates have a black plate body to suppress cross signals and to prevent excitation of regions out of interest in epifluorescence applications.
All Imaging Plates are single packed and shipped with a lid.
All lids contain condensation rings and spacers for optimal ventilation.
Note: All polymer plate bodies react to temperature shifts with dimensional changes. Please take care that the plate and its environment have equal temperature during microscopy to minimize focal shifts and reduce refocusing.
