Opti-Well™ - Opti-Mizers

Opti-Well™ (30ml)

$79.00

Opti-Well™ is a rapidly curing liquid coverslip reagent that preserves samples and fluorescent markers, eliminates meniscus distortion, and creates a flat, optically pure surface comparable to a glass coverslip. This enables extended storage, brighter fluorescence, and edge-to-edge phase-contrast imaging for label-free detection of most cellular features.

Economical at ~3 to 7 cents per well ($79 per 30 mL)
Cures to refractive index of 1.5 in minutes
Preserves cells and fluors
Creates brighter, crisper images with improved signal to noise.
Allows edge to edge phase contrast imaging and thus labeless detection
Allows Label-less detection of multiple cellular features
Allows plate storage at -20°C for extended times
Allows plate shipping
Allows plate inversion for viewing on upright scopes

96 well reservoirs with no soln on top, 100 ul of PBS showing a meniscus and in the bottom well cured Opti-Well. — Empty well of a 96 well microplate, middle with 100ul PBS showing meniscal lens, bottom shows cured Opti-Well with no light aberration.

Empty well of a 96 well microplate, middle with 100ul PBS showing meniscal lens, bottom shows cured Opti-Well with no light aberration.

Phase contrast expanded viewing area from 2% to 95% of well bottom. Revealing label-less detection of filapodia, cell area, cell membranes, growth cones, nuclei, vacuoles, stress fibers, and nucleoli.
