Overview

Achieve accurate and reproducible hematopoietic colony counting with ³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ plates. These plates prevent the formation of a meniscus, allowing for even distribution of culture medium, and resulting in a more uniform distribution of colonies throughout the entire 35 mm well. The absence of the meniscus also reduces optical distortion so that colonies located at the edge can be more easily counted.

³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ (Catalog #27370) is the second generation of the original ³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ plate (Catalog #27301). These new plates use an improved coating, which streamlines the manufacturing process, while consistently improving the visibility of hematopoietic colonies in culture through the elimination of the meniscus. Current ³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ customers can contact their local ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï representative for more information.

³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ has been designed for both manual counting with STEMgridâ„¢-6 (Catalog #27000), as well as automated colony counting with a STEMvisionâ„¢ instrument (Catalog #22000). Browse our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on performing the CFU assay.

Manual and Automated Counting of Hematopoietic CFU Assays

Figure 1. Manual and Automated Counting of CFU Assays in Standard and SmartDish™ Culture Plates

Shown are representative 35 mm wells from (A) standard and (B) ³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ culture plates with STEMgrid-6 attached to facilitate colony counting on an inverted microscope, or (C) standard and (D) ³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ plates imaged using STEMvisionâ„¢. Optical distortion caused by the meniscus obscures colonies at the edge of cultures grown in standard plates (A, C) and makes them more difficult to count (see circled colony in A). Colonies are more easily seen and counted at the edge of the ³§³¾²¹°ù³Ù¶Ù¾±²õ³óâ„¢ wells which have been treated to eliminate meniscus formation (B, D).
