Made of Polystyrene, with high, flat or ultra low profile, all sterile lids are non-cytotoxic
Lids offer protection against contamination and evaporation during sample storage and cell cultivation.
Four different polystyrene lids are available:
- High profile lids (9 mm) High profile without condensation rings is mainly used for non TC-treated 96 well microplates.
- High profile lids (9 mm) with condensation rings High profile with condensation rings is recommended for cell
culture applications, since it ensures an optimum oxygen supply to cultivated cells due to improved gas exchange. - Low profile lids (6 mm) Low profile is particularly recommended for 384 well standard microplates as the well contents are protected against evaporation and contamination, and the covered microplates can be easily gripped on the side in automated processes.
- Universal ultra low profile lids The ultra low profile lid has a universal design, and is compatible with a whole range of different microplates. In particular high-format low profile microplates, such as the 384 well Small VolumeTM LoBase or the 1536 well microplate can be sealed with the ultra low profile lid. This lid provides the greatest possible protection against evaporation, and is also suitable for use in automated systems. Recesses in the edge of the lid improve the readability of barcodes, and sealed microplates can be easily gripped from the side and transported without problem.
