Thermo Scientific™ Nunc™ Edge 2.0 96-Well Plates

Minimise plate evaporation and the risks associated with edge effects when using the uniquely engineered Thermo Scientific™ Nunc™ Edge 2.0 Plate in place of your standard 96-well plate. When filled with sterile water or media, the surrounding moat acts as an evaporation buffer during extended incubation, yielding consistent, viable cells across all 96 wells, which in turn enhances productivity for cell-based assays. Enabling the use of all 96 wells allows researchers to plan experiments more efficiently, potentially resulting in less cost and related product waste.

Reclaim full-use of your 96-well plate

• The Edge 2.0 Plate provides an ideal, efficient and economical solution for preventing evaporation and in turn the risks associated with edge effects.
• Uniquely designed with a surrounding moat that serves as an evaporation barrier, enabling researchers to expand their microplate cultures to all 96 wells without evaporation concerns.

Achieve full-plate consistency and enhanced productivity

• Following incubation periods of up to 4 days, Edge 2.0 yields consistent, viable cells across the entire 96-well plate, leading to improved productivity for cell-based assays.

Improve your process and results

• Enabling the use of all 96 wells permits experimental efficiencies that can potentially result in less cost and related product waste.

Optimised for extended microplate cultures

• Nunclon™ Delta cell culture surface promotes cell attachment and growth; untreated surface options are available.
• Filling perimeter reservoir with 1.7 sterile water or media helps to ensure well-to-well consistency and cell viability.
• Overall plate evaporation rate reduced to <2% after four days of incubation.
• Total well volume = 400 µL.
• Using the Edge 2.0 Plate in conjunction with the Thermo Scientific™ Varioskan™ LUX multimode microplate reader, the filled moat of the plate functions as passive humidity control, allowing for simultaneous incubation and signal detection during long-term applications with living cells inside the plate reader.
