48-Well TC-Treated Cell Culture Plate for Higher-Throughput Workflows

The Puretest 48-well cell culture plate gives researchers more experimental capacity while using less medium and reagent per condition than 6-, 12- or 24-well formats. Its clear flat-bottom wells are TC-treated to support adherent-cell attachment, and the transparent polystyrene construction enables routine visual and microscopic inspection. A fitted lid and individual sterile pouch make the plate ready for organized cell-based screening and optimization studies.

Key Features

• TC-treated well surface: Supports cell attachment and growth for common adherent-cell protocols.
• 48-well capacity: A 6 × 8 layout increases throughput while controlling media and reagent use.
• Clear flat bottoms: Designed for routine microscopy, imaging and visual quality checks.
• Rigid polystyrene plate: Transparent construction for everyday laboratory handling.
• Supplied with lid: Helps protect wells during incubation and bench transfer.
• Individual sterile packaging: One plate per sealed pouch supports clean setup and inventory control.
• Cleanliness statement: Sterile, non-pyrogenic and DNase/RNase-free as indicated on the packaging.
• Single-use format: Intended for professional laboratory research applications.

Technical Specifications

Dimensions and volumes are nominal values for this plate format. Confirm required tolerances, case quantity and technical drawings with Puretest before placing a production order.

Typical Applications

• Higher-throughput adherent cell culture
• Compound and dose-response screening
• Media, coating and transfection optimization
• Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays
• Replicate-heavy experimental designs
• Microscopy and image-based cell analysis

Why Choose the 48-Well Format?

The 48-well format provides twice the condition capacity of a 24-well plate while remaining easier to access manually than a 96-well plate. It is well suited to protocol development and screening programs that require more replicates or concentration points but still need enough cells and working volume for imaging or downstream analysis.

Packaging, Samples and Supply Support

Every plate is individually sealed in a sterile pouch. Case configuration, lead time and MOQ are confirmed when quoting. Samples can be arranged for workflow evaluation. Volume buyers and distributors may also discuss OEM/ODM, private-label and custom packaging requirements with our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a 48-well plate?

It increases the number of conditions and replicates while reducing medium and reagent use compared with lower-density plates. It can also be more convenient for manual handling than a 96-well format.

What is the typical working volume per well?

Approximately 0.19–0.285 mL per well is a common range. Adjust the volume for the selected cell line, incubation time and assay method.

Is the plate suitable for adherent cells?

Yes. The polystyrene surface is TC-treated to support attachment and spreading of many adherent cell types.
