About this item
Delta T® Heated Culture Dishes are designed to simulate host conditions on the microscope stage, and provide an optimal optical environment for microscopy
- Easily adaptable to a wide variety of specimen types; from monolayered adherent cells to brain slice and tissue preps
- Plate, incubate, and observe without the need to transfer cells
- Coverglass bottom for optimum optical compatibility
- Direct heat transfer to cells through coverslip
The dishes allow users to plate cells and observe them without having to transfer them to another structure. An intelligent feedback loop passes an electrical current through a thin film coating on the underside surface of the glass substrate on which the cells are grown. Heat is applied directly to the cells without the inefficiencies associated with peripheral heating by traditional culture dish warmers. Delta T® dishes have 35mm O.D. and a 23mm central aperture. The dishes are a hybrid of polystyrene plastic and Desag 263 glass. The outer structure of the dish is available in opaque black or clear. Dishes are also available with a clear 0.5mm or 0.17mm glass coverslip bottom bonded to them.
