BD Falcon™ Cell Culture Dishes

   IntroductionFeaturesProduct List   
Designed for cell culture
  • Flat, distortion-free optics
  • Lids designed for optimal gas exchange
  • Stacking rings allow for easier stacking and handling
  • Vacuum gas plasma treatment permanently and consistently modifies the cell growth surface
  • Standard tissue-culture surface is hydrophilic and contains a variety of negatively charged functional groups that support cell attachment and spreading
  • Primaria tissue-culture surface additionally incorporates nitrogen-containing functional groups. It has been shown to support improved attachment, spreading, and differentiation of some cell types

Easy-Grip Dishes

The unique design and frosted rim found on BD Falcon easy-grip dishes improve the handling of small dishes. The ability to pick up a small dish conveniently without accidentally removing the lid allows you to work faster and improves aseptic manipulation.

Cell performance tests ensure consistent results

A sensitive clonogenic assay[ 1 ] using MRC-5 cells, a diploid human fibroblast line, is used to validate the manufacturing process for each BD Falcon™ TC product. Routine testing of standard TC products is performed by testing growth to confluency at 72 hours with MRC-5 or WI-38 cells, a diploid human lung fibroblast cell line. The surface chemistry of each lot of BD Primaria™ products is confirmed by ESCA.

TC Process Validation

Each BD Falcon™ tissue-culture product is developed using a sensitive clonogenic assay[ 1 ]. Shown here is a 35 mm dish with MRC-5 cells stained with crystal violet.

Features

  • Nonpyrogenic
  • Sterilized by gamma irradiation
  • Packaged in peel-open, medical-style bags
  • Crystal-grade polystyrene

Tips

  • If you work with 35 mm or 60 mm dishes, try our easy-grip dishes. For more information or to receive a sample, call Technical Services at 800.343.2035.
  • Nontreated polystyrene products are equivalent to bacteriological-grade polystyrene products. BD Falcon offers dishes for in vitro fertilization that are certified nonembryotoxic. Certification is based on a statistically relevant sample taken from each lot that is tested for embryotoxicity. Click here for additional information.
