Corning Elplasia Microcavity Plates

Corning Elplasia Microcavity Plates enable researchers to generate a high density of spheroids in a scaffold-free model using microcavity technology. Use Corning Elplasia plates to generate, culture, and analyze hundreds to thousands of spheroids all in a standard plate footprint. Corning Elplasia plates are available in multiple formats, two well geometry types, and two surface coatings.

Corning Elplasia Round Bottom Plates are optimal for bulk spheroid formation, collection, and expansion. Round  bottom plates are available in 6-, 24-, and 96-well formats and all feature Corning Ultra-Low Attachment (ULA) surface. Corning ULA surface is proprietary, animal-free, covalently bonded hydrogel surface that is hydrophilic and neutrally charged. The ULA surface promotes the formation and easy harvesting of anchorage-dependent scaffold-free spheroids.

Corning Elplasia Square Bottom Plates features a surface with optical qualities suited for image analysis, making them an ideal solution for clonal selection and high magnification imaging of very small clusters. Square bottom plates are plasma-treated for self-coating and come in 6-, 24-, 96-, and 384-well formats.

Key Features

• Two well geometry and surface coating options: round bottom type featuring Ultra-Low attachment (ULA) surface or square bottom type featuring a plasma-treated surface for self-cleaning
• Multiple format options: 6-, 24-, 96-, 384-well
• Black opaque sidewalls that reduce well-to-well “cross-talk”
• Plates feature a surface with optical qualities suited for image analysis
• Gamma irradiated
• One-year shelf life
