Questions & answers
Q2: What type of glass bottom dish should I use to grow my cells?
“It is hard to predict which type of glass bottom dish will work best with your specific cell type. Uncoated (e.g.”
Q3: How can I search for published methods utilizing Mattek’s glass bottom dishes?
“We have collected and catalogued hundreds of technical papers that cite the use of Mattek Glass Bottom Culture Dishes. You can search our database of cataloged publications on our website here.”
Q4: What should I do if I want to improve growth or if my cells won’t grow on the glass bottom dishes?
“To increase cell attachment and spreading, we recommend the high adhesion dishes (e.g. Part # P35G-1.5-14-C-HA).”
Q5: What is the difference between the uncoated and high adhesion (-HA) glass bottom dishes?
“The HA dishes utilize glass coverslips which have been specially cleaned and optimized for cell attachment and spreading. The high adhesion dishes (e.g. P35G-1.5-14-C-HA) are not coated with an extracellular matrix but many researchers find that the -HA dishes give better and more consistent attachment and growth of cells.”
Q6: Can the coverslip be removed from the glass bottom dish?
“Yes, but for most applications, cells growing in the glass bottom dish can be viewed without removal of the coverslip using a variety of inverted and upright microscopes.”
Q12: Are the glass bottom dishes good for confocal and fluorescence microscopy?
“Yes. The glass bottom dishes are excellent for both confocal and fluorescent microscopy.”
