Planet-Safe® Microplate, 96-well, Round Bottom, w/ Lids, Sterile
Description 100% Plant-Based Planet-Safe® Sustainable Labware is made from polylactic acid (PLA), a plant-based resin derived from non-GMO sustainably cultivated sugarcane. Superior cell-binding PLA is considerably more hydrophilic than petrochemical resins such as polystyrene. This beneficial property allows a variety of anchorage-dependent eukaryotic cell species to grow in liquid culture on the dish surface without added coatings or treatments. Test cultures with Planet-Safe® labware show normal growth and support of adherent Human Embryonic Kidney-derived cells (HEK293) and Monkey Kidney Fibroblast-derived cells (COS). Observed growth rate and confluence results were comparable to leading tissue-culture treated polystyrene labware. Eco-responsible disposal of Planet-Safe® labware is convenient and environmentally sustainable. All Planet-Safe® labware is commercially compostable where available. When required, biohazardous Petri dishes may be incinerated releasing a neutral amount of carbon dioxide and water. Planet-Safe® may also be disposed of in a landfill providing a carbon sequestration benefit three times greater than that of polystyrene-based Petri dishes. Key Advantages Sustainable production: Produced from 100% sustainably-harvested, renewable, plant-based PLA. USDA Biopreferred label. Cell growth without additional coatings: Increased hydrophilic properties of Planet-Safe® PLA surfaces allow a variety of anchorage-dependent cell species to grow on the dish surface without added coatings or treatments. Improved cell adhesion: Planet-Safe® cell culture surfaces exhibit improved cellular adhesion when compared to a leading brand. Reliable cell growth: identical growth rates were observed between Planet-Safe® and Corning® surfaces. Use across multiple cell lines: observed growth rate and confluence results were comparable to leading TC-treated polystyrene dishes. Increased stability and reproducibility: exhibits a much lower percentage of fluid shear compared to other available popular brands. Compostability: commercially compostable where available per ASTM D6400 standards. Specifications Cat.
