Nunc

This Thermo Scientific Nunc and Nalgene cell culture product selection guide presents a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality, USP Class VI compliant solutions designed to support every stage of the cell culture workflow, from initial culture to discovery, ensuring reproducible and reliable research outcomes. The catalog highlights a diverse array of cell culture surfaces, including Nunclon Delta for broad adherent cell types, poly-D-lysine or collagen I-coated surfaces and Lab-Tek II CC2 modified glass for sensitive and primary cells by mimicking the extracellular matrix, Nunc UpCell for enzyme-free cell detachment and 3D tissue model creation through temperature reduction, non-treated surfaces for suspension culture and biochemical assays, and Nunclon Sphera for spheroid-organoid culture with minimal cell attachment. Custom coating options are also available to meet specific research requirements. The product line encompasses various cell culture vessels: Nunc EasYFlasks feature ergonomic designs with angled, extra-wide necks and 1/3-turn caps for convenient access, while standard and T300 flasks offer durability and large growth areas up to 300 cm². The innovative Nunc TripleFlask provides three times the growth surface of a T175 flask within the same footprint, optimizing incubator space. Cell culture dishes and multidishes, such as Nunc EasyDish for improved handling and stacking, standard dishes, and Nunc glass bottom dishes for high-magnification microscopy and confocal imaging, are engineered for optimal cell health and optical clarity. Microplates, including Nunc Edge 2.0 plates that effectively eliminate evaporation and enhance cell growth consistency in 96-well formats, standard plates available in 96, 384, and 1,536 wells for high-throughput screening (HTS) in clear, black, or white options, and optical bottom plates for superior fluorescence and luminescence imaging, are tailored for specific application needs. For simplified cell imaging, Nunc chamber slides and chambered coverglasses (Lab-Tek systems) enable culture, fixation, staining, and analysis within a single device, offering solutions for high-magnification live imaging and cell karyotyping. Cell culture inserts, constructed from porous polycarbonate membranes with defined pore sizes (e.g., 0.4, 3, and 8 µm), are ideal for transport studies, co-culture, barrier assays, and tumor invasion studies, complemented by carrier plate systems that facilitate air-liquid interface culture and easy media changes. Nalgene single-use PETG Erlenmeyer shaker flasks, sterile with a 10^-6 sterility assurance level (SAL) and BPA-free, are provided for suspension cell culture scale-up, featuring options for solid or filtered caps and plain or baffled bottoms to control aeration and shear stress. A comprehensive range of accessories, including Nunc conical tubes (EZFlip for one-handed operation, standard with recyclable racks), serological pipettes (Shortie for laminar hoods, regular for automated systems), and cell scrapers for gentle cell removal, further supports the entire cell culture workflow.
