CultureWell™ Silicone Sheet Material
CULTUREWELL™ SILICONE SHEET MATERIAL
CultureWell™ clear silicone sheet material allows researchers to create their own removable hydrophobic barriers to isolate specimens. They may be used to isolate cells grown in culture dishes or separate multiple specimens affixed to microscope slides.
Applications
- High resolution microscopy
- Fluorescent imaging
- Immunohistochemistry
- Cell Culture

CS16 CultureWell™ removable chambered coverglass is a 16-well chambered coverglass cell culture vessel, with 2 x 8 format with standard 96 well plate volumes and well spacing. The non-cytotoxic silicone well gaskets form a leak-proof seal between the polystyrene upper structure and coverglass. Product is sterile and ready to use. Chambered Coverglass allows high resolution imaging in the same vessel used for cell culture. The bottom of the wells are No. 1.5 German borosilicate coverglass. Coverglass may be separated from the chambers for mounting fixed cells.
Gaskets are ideal for forming wells on glass microscope slides or in polystyrene dishes. Gaskets are non-sterile and may be sterilized by autoclaving, UV or alcohol. Ideal for forming wells on glass microscope slides or in polystyrene dishes and to isolate cells using removable hydrophobic barriers on coverglass.
SecureSlip™ Silicone Supported Coverglass is affixed to a thin microscopically transparent silicone base which secures it to culture vessels by electrostatic charge (no adhesive) to prevent movement during cultivation, and cells from growing on the back surface. The silicone also acts as a hydrophobic barrier to isolate liquid reagents on glass.
