Are cell culture microplates compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Yes, most cell culture microplates are compatible with automated liquid handling systems, allowing for high-throughput experiments and increased efficiency.
Can I perform live-cell imaging with cell culture microplates?
Yes, there are specific microplates with clear bottoms designed for live-cell imaging, enabling real-time analysis of cell behavior.
What is the maximum volume that can be added to each well of a cell culture microplate?
The maximum volume capacity of each well depends on the specific microplate and well size. It is important to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for accurate information.
Can I reuse cell culture microplates?
It is not recommended to reuse cell culture microplates, as it can introduce contamination and affect experimental results. It is best to use fresh plates for each experiment.
How can I prevent cell adhesion in non-adherent cell lines?
For non-adherent cell lines, it is recommended to use non-treated or low-binding surface microplates to prevent cell adhesion.
What is the recommended storage condition for cell culture microplates?
Cell culture microplates should be stored in a clean and dry environment at room temperature to maintain their integrity.
Are cell culture microplates sterile?
Yes, cell culture microplates are sterilized during the manufacturing process to ensure aseptic conditions for cell culture.
Can I use cell culture microplates for drug screening?
Yes, cell culture microplates are commonly used for drug screening, allowing researchers to test the effects of different compounds on cell viability and behavior.
