Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) has expanded its spheroid microplate product offerings with the introduction of a unique 1536-well plate designed specifically for growing spheroid cell cultures. The Corning® 1536-well Spheroid Microplate helps scientists generate a higher volume of spheroids for high-throughput screening, which is especially beneficial in cancer research and drug testing.

To help streamline work with 3D cell cultures in an automated environment, the 1536-well spheroid microplate features a novel and proprietary design that allows scientists to generate, culture, assay, and analyze 3D multicellular spheroids in one microplate. The spheroid microplate eliminates the need for a transfer step in visualization or biochemical assays, reducing the risk of cell damage or loss. The newer spheroid microplate format, in addition to Corning’s current 96- and 384-well formats, is compatible with most high-throughput screening instruments.

As with all Corning spheroid microplates, the 1536-well microplate features round well bottoms and a Corning Ultra-Low ...
