MatTek's Glass Bottom
Culture Dishes allow researchers to produce high-resolution microscopic images of cultures growing
in standard-size 35 and 50 mm disposable plastic petri dishes. We manufacture Glass Bottom Culture
Dishes using high volume, automated procedures to ensure both lot-to-lot reproducibility and
cost-effective pricing to the end-user.

The first step in this process is to precisely cut a 10, 14, or 20 mm diameter opening in the
center of standard 35 mm Corning or 50 mm Falcon culture dish. |
|
| |
Next,
a high quality German glass coverslip of standard thickness (typically No. 0, 1.0, or No. 1.5)
is attached to the bottom of each dish covering the opening. These coverslips are high quality
borosilicate glass of the highest hydrolytic consistency and are well adapted for a broad variety
of high resolution microscopy applications.

Glass bottom dishes
come uncoated or coated with poly-d-lysine or collagen in order to facilitate growth of your
specific cell type. Also, 6-well, 12-well, 24-well and 96-well multiwell
glass bottom plates are also available. |
| |
We encourage first time users to request a free sample to insure
the dish is appropriate for their specific cell type and microscopy application.
