Every Cell in Focus:
The Principle of the µ-Plate 96 Well 3D

The µ-Plate 96 Well 3D has a specialised geometry for the easy, convenient, and reproducible conduction of tube formation assays. It is also ideal for sprouting assays, immunofluorescence staining, and general 3D cell culture.

After the gel has been pipetted into the inner well and given time to solidify, the cells can be seeded on top of it for tube formation analysis. Due to the “well-in-a-well” technology, the amount of gel needed is reduced to only 10 μl per well, which is 10% of the amount used in regular multiwell plates.

Further, no gel meniscus is formed. This ensures the formation of a uniformly thick gel matrix on which all cells are in one optical plane, creating reproducible cell culture conditions. The µ-Plate 96 Well 3D can be used with all common hydrogel matrices, such as Matrigel^®, collagen gels, agarose gels, and hyaluronic acid gels.

With its 96 wells, the µ-Plate 96 Well 3D is designed for high throughput assays. For low throughput assays, ibidi provides the μ-Slide 15 Well 3D.
