The reinvented Nunc Edge 2.0 96-Well Plate
Take your cell-based assays to the edge
We reinvented the 96-well plate so you can reclaim full use of all 96 wells without worrying about evaporation in the perimeter wells. The large reservoirs surrounding the Edge 2.0 96-well plate, when filled, effectively eliminate the "edge effect" caused by evaporation and temperature fluctuation.
Nunc 96-well cell culture treated plates for adherent cells
The Thermo Scientific Nunclon Delta cell culture surface treatment promotes maximum adhesion for a broad range of cell types.
The Nunclon Delta surface is a fully synthetic energy-treated surface that makes the otherwise very hydrophobic polystyrene surface more hydrophilic, thus facilitating cell attachment and growth. The Nunclon Delta certificate ensures high quality standards and lot-to-lot consistency.

Nunc UpCell plates for cell harvesting
The Thermo Scientific Nunc UpCell surface enables harvesting of cells by temperature reduction without the need for dissociation enzymes (e.g. trypsin).
The Nunc UpCell plates are grafted with PIPAAm polymers that change conformation and hydrophilicity according to external temperature, dislodging cells from the growth surface in this process while keeping cellular membrane and surface receptors intact.
Nunc ECM-coated plates for finicky cell attachment
The Thermo Scientific Nunc ECM-coated surfaces are ideal for culturing cells with difficulties attaching to the regular tissue culture surfaces.
Nunc Poly-D-Lysine (PDL) and Collagen I coated plates are designed to enhance the adhesion and growth of primary cells and finicky cell lines in vitro. The PDL synthetic material and the Collagen I protein of animal origin are aseptically coated in either the Nunc regular plates or the Nunc Optical Bottom plates with 10-3 sterility assurance level (SAL).
