50 Sterile 96-Well Plates for $249.95: Globe Scientific Diamond SureGro Round-Bottom, Non-Treated

The Most Important Piece of Plastic in Science

In 1951, a Hungarian physician named Gyula Takátsy had a problem: influenza research was burning through scarce reagents, and glassware was expensive and slow. His solution — machining rows of tiny wells into a single block so dozens of micro-scale reactions could run side by side — became the microtiter plate. Three-quarters of a century later, its 96-well descendant is the standard footprint of modern biology: every plate reader, every multichannel pipette, every robot arm in every lab on Earth is built around it.

What's in This Case

This is a factory case of 50 Globe Scientific Diamond SureGro 96-well plates — model TC-PLT-96-R-NT: polystyrene, round-bottom, non-treated surface, sterile and individually wrapped. Non-treated round-bottom is the workhorse spec for suspension cell culture, hemagglutination work, sample prep, and any assay where you don't want cells attaching to the plastic and do want easy pellet formation.

Each of the 50 plates is individually wrapped and sterile, straight from the factory case

• 96-well round bottom — standard ANSI/SLAS footprint, plays with any reader or multichannel
• Non-treated polystyrene — for suspension cultures and minimal-binding assays
• Sterile, individually wrapped — open one at a time, keep the rest sealed
• 50 per case — roughly $5 a plate at $249.95

Who This Is For

University labs stretching a grant, biotech startups counting runway, community-college teaching labs, and home-lab hobbyists who've discovered that catalog pricing on consumables is where budgets go to die. Globe Scientific is a legitimate, established lab-supply brand — this is simply the same case for less, from a liquidation shelf instead of a distributor's.
