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 Specification
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.
Plates with large wells, such as the 12/24 well plates, that uses #1.5P coverslip may not be suitable for applications such as whole plate auto-scan, where whole plate flatness is critical. Because the film is soft and therefore is slightly curved within large wells.
