Description
CultureWell™ Reusable Silicone Gaskets provide a simple and economical solution for creating temporary wells on glass microscope slides, coverglass, and polystyrene culture dishes. Designed for repeated use, these flexible silicone gaskets create isolated chambers for cell culture, staining, reagent incubation, and microscopy applications without permanently bonding to the substrate.
The removable gasket design allows researchers to compartmentalize samples, reduce reagent volumes, and perform multiple assays on a single slide or culture surface. They are also ideal for creating hydrophobic barriers on coverglass, enabling the isolation of individual cell populations and preventing cross-contamination between samples.
Manufactured from high-quality silicone, CultureWell™ Reusable Gaskets are non-sterile and can be easily sterilized using autoclaving, UV irradiation, or alcohol, making them suitable for repeated laboratory use.
