8-Well PCR/Microplate Strips — Round Bottom, 0.37 mL, TC-Treated Polystyrene, Sterile, 60/Bag (333-8072-01R)
These 8-well strips feature a round-bottom well geometry with a 0.37 mL per-well capacity, molded from tissue-culture-treated polystyrene and supplied sterile for cell-based and biological applications. The natural (translucent) color allows visual inspection of well contents, while the TC-treated surface promotes cell attachment and spreading for culture work. Part number 333-8072-01R is packaged 60 strips per bag, offering an economical bulk format for high-throughput workflows.

Applications
- Adherent and suspension cell culture in strip-well format

- Immunoassays and biochemical assays using small aqueous sample volumes
- Modular plate assembly when used with compatible 8-well strip frames
Material & Chemical Resistance
Polystyrene is a clear, rigid polymer well suited to aqueous biological buffers, culture media, and standard saline-based reagents. As with all PS labware, exposure to acetone, alcohols above 70%, and aromatic or chlorinated solvents should be avoided, as these can craze, soften, or dissolve the material. Polystyrene is not autoclavable; these strips are supplied pre-sterilized and are intended for single use.
Quality & Procurement
Made in USA, Caplugs® Evergreen 8-well strips are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management from BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free polystyrene resin. The TC-treated surface is processed to promote consistent cell attachment across every well. LabSupplies.com is an authorized dealer and ships from USA inventory, with volume pricing available for institutional, clinical, and grant-funded laboratories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these strips sterile and ready to use for cell culture?
Yes — they are supplied sterile and tissue-culture treated, making them ready for direct use in cell-based applications without additional preparation.
What is the maximum working volume per well?
The rated well volume is 0.37 mL. For practical use, a working volume somewhat below this maximum is recommended to avoid spillover and cross-contamination between wells.
Are these strips compatible with standard 96-well plate frames and readers?
8-well strips in this format are generally designed to fit standard 96-well strip frames, but compatibility with any specific frame or plate reader should be confirmed against the equipment manufacturer's dimensional requirements before purchase.
