Minimize plate evaporation and the risks associated with edge effect when using the uniquely engineered Thermo Scientific™ Nunc™ Edge 2.0 Plate in place of your standard 96-well plate.

• Minimizes risks
• Enhances productivity
• Lowers cost
• Reduces waste

When filled with sterile water or media, the surrounding moat acts an evaporation buffer during extended incubation, yielding consistent, viable cells across the entire 96-well plate that in turn enhances productivity for cell-based assays

The Edge 2.0 Plate provides an ideal, efficient and economical solution for preventing evaporation and in turn the risks associated with edge effect. Uniquely designed with a surrounding moat that serves as an evaporation barrier, enabling researchers to expand their microplate cultures to all 96 wells without concerns of evaporation. Following incubation periods of up to four days, Edge 2.0 yields consistent, viable cells across the entire 96-well plate, leading to improved productivity for cell- based assays. Enabling the use of all 96 wells permits experiment efficiencies that can result in potentially less cost and related product waste.

Nunclon™ Delta cell culture surface promotes cell attachment and growth; untreated surface options available. Filling perimeter reservoir with 1.7 sterile water or media helps o 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.

Enabling the use of all 96 wells allows researchers to plan experiments more efficiently, resulting in potentially less cost and related product waste.
