Tissue Culture Test Plates

Cell Culture Test Plates Optimized for Imaging, Automation, and Reproducibility

TPP cell culture test plates are designed for standardized cell culture, assay workflows, and automated measurement systems, ensuring high reproducibility in both research and routine laboratory applications.

Design and system advantages

  • Precisely defined dimensions for compatibility with readers and automated systems
  • Opto-mechanically treated growth surface for optimized cell adhesion
  • Perfectly flat growth surface for uniform cell distribution and reproducible results, preventing edge effect
  • Defined growth area restricted to a spherical zone for consistent assay conditions

Lid and handling system

  • Vented lid for controlled gas exchange with reduced evaporation
  • Color-coded alignment system (yellow-to-yellow) for error-free lid positioning
  • Beveled corner ensures only one correct lid orientation
  • Ribbed grip area prevents accidental lid removal

Laboratory workflow optimization

  • Clear alphanumeric well labeling for easy orientation during microscopy
  • High-contrast black side labeling for fast identification
  • Stackable design across all formats (6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, and 96-well plates)
  • Bottom ventilation openings reduce condensation and maintain airflow between stacked plates
Additional advantages of the TPP tissue culture test plates with 96 wells
  • manufactured meeting the standards ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 through ANSI/SLAS 4-2004
  • 2 well geometries available: F-base and U-base

ANSI/SLAS Microplate Standards

The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) maintains internationally recognized microplate standards through its Microplate Standards Advisory Committee. These standards are developed under the oversight of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ensure compatibility between microplates, laboratory instruments, and automated systems.

The committee includes balanced representation from:

  • Microplate manufacturers
  • Instrument manufacturers (automation, readers, liquid handling systems)
  • Industrial and academic end users
  • Independent experts and stakeholders in laboratory standards
  • Current ANSI/SLAS Microplate Standards

The following standards define key microplate dimensions and are widely used to ensure interoperability and automation compatibility:

  • ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 (R2012): Footprint Dimensions
  • ANSI/SLAS 2-2004 (R2012): Height Dimensions
  • ANSI/SLAS 3-2004 (R2012): Bottom Outside Flange Dimensions
  • ANSI/SLAS 4-2004 (R2012): Well Positions
  • ANSI/SLAS 6-2012: Well Bottom Elevation

These standards have been reaffirmed through the ANSI consensus process and remain the reference framework for microplate-based laboratory automation systems.

Good to know!

The well geometry is an important criterion with a 96 well tissue culture plate. TPP offers 2 well geometries:

F-base

  • excellent optical characteristics
  • suitable for precise optical measurements the measuring light is not distracted by the geometry - as well as microscopy applications (bottom reading)
  • growth area 0.342 cm2
 

U-base

  • no rims well suited for pipetting
  • used for agglutination tests and „+/-„ evaluations
  • growth area: 0.965 cm2
