What are the advantages of using multi-well glass bottom plates compared to the standard glass bottom culture dishes?
1: The main advantage of the multi-well glass bottom plates is that you can grow 6, 12, 24 or 96 cultures under identical conditions in the same culture plate. The multi-well plates are ideal for high throughput, high/high content screening applications. 2: Analysis using the multi-well plates is streamlined because only one (1) plate (versus multiple petri dishes) needs to be handled. 3: For a number of applications, treatment of the cultures (e.g., irradiation) is simplified using the multi-well plates. 4: Smaller wells in the glass bottom multi-well plates are useful for application of precious reagents in smaller volumes.
