CellVis
High quality chambers for live-cell imaging
Cellvis are specialised in making glass bottom dishes, glass bottom plates and chambered cover slides and accessories for high resolution optical imaging. Cellvis products include glass bottom dishes with different dish size and micro-well size; 6/12/24/96/384 well glass bottom plates and 4/8 chambered coverslips. Cellvis products are of the highest optical quality for techniques such as confocal microscopy, super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and widefield fluorescence microscopy.
Cellvis products are manufactured in a class 100,000 clean room to ensure maximum optical quality.
A USP class VI adhesive is used to assemble their products (when applicable) to provide a non-toxic cell culture environment.
| Coverslip | Thickness | Material |
|---|---|---|
| #0 | 0.085-0.115 | Optical grade cover glass |
| #1 | 0.13-0.16 | Optical grade cover glass |
| #1.5 | 0.16-0.19 | Optical grade cover glass |
| #1.5H | 0.170±0.005 | Extremely flat high performance cover glass |
| #1.5P | 0.16-0.19 |
Tissue culture treated polymer cover slip with optical characteristics very similar to that of a cover glass. Recommended for applications where better cell attachment is desired. Not suitable for TIRF. |
| #1.5Grid | 0.16-0.19 | Optical grade cover glass 20x26 grid, each cell is coded with unique alphanumeric code |
What is the thickness and material of different coverslips used in Cellvis products?
Chambered cover glass for live-cell imaging. Clear polystyrene frame with various cover glass options and format (choose above). Supplied with lids, individually packed in cases of 48. Designed for live-cell imaging and high resolution imaging such as confocal and super-resolution microscopy.
Features:
Suitable for long term tissue culture
Manufactured in a class 100,000 clean room
Frame made from virgin polystyrene
A USP class VI adhesive is used to assemble the cover glass and the plate.
Sterilised by Gamma radiation.
Conforms to ANSI/SBS 1-2004 standards

#1.5P Tissue culture treated polymer cover slip 0.175±0.01mm
Slide format (SB version) for easy use in standard slide holders
Recommended for:
Confocal Microscopy
Super-Resolution Microscopy (glass #1.5H option)
6 well plates. Clear polystyrene frame with various cover glass options, including full coverage wells and micro-wells (choose above). Supplied with lids, individually packed in cases of 20. Designed for high resolution imaging such as confocal and super-resolution microscopy.

Options:
#0 cover glass 0.085-0.115mm
#1 cover glass 0.13-0.16mm
#1.5 cover glass 0.16-0.19mm
#1.5H Extremely flat high performance cover glass 0.170±0.005mm
#1.5P Tissue culture treated polymer cover slip 0.175±0.01mm
14mm and 20mm micro-well (cover glass is centred in well)
Note that the full well P06-1.5H-N is only avaliable in #1.5H cover glass. This is because the large area of the 6-well plates requires a rigid cover glass
