One step closer to your sustainability goals.
Say hello to the Green Elephant 96-well plate that ultimately aligns with your sustainability principles without any compromises on quality or functionality.
-
Made 100 % from renewable biopolymer, this 96-well plate has a 50% lower carbon footprint than that of standard polystyrene plates.
-
Excellent transparency & flat-bottom design of transparent plate allow for a wide array of optical tests and microscopic applications.
-
Black 96-well plates with minimal auto-fluorescence, background noise, and transmission are suitable for fluorescence-based assays.
-
Maximized signal: plant-based white 96-well plates for accurate luminescence assay results.
-
The individual wells are clearly labeled, facilitating identification.
​
Well played, PLA.
PLA (polylactic acid) transforms your 96-well plate into an eco-friendly alternative.
The carbon footprint is reduced by more than 50% compared to traditional polystyrene plates. This is attributed not only to the COâ‚‚ absorption by the plants used to produce PLA but also to its energy and water-efficient manufacturing process.

Can all adherent cell lines be cultivated in the CellScrew®?The CellScrew® has been tested with various cell lines, such as mouse fibroblasts (L-929), human kidney cells (HEK-293), and stem cells (human mesenchymal stromal cells). The adhesion rates, growth rates, and final cell densities observed were comparable to or better than those achieved on standard polystyrene surfaces. For more information on the testing of HEK-293 cells on the PLA surface and the CellScrew®, please refer to this Application Note.
-
Does the CellScrew® have a smaller carbon footprint compared to standard cell culture devices?Yes! The CellScrew® is made from polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from the polymerization of lactic acid produced from plants. Our additive manufacturing process allows us to produce the same growth surface area with up to 80% less material compared to injection molded culture systems. To comprehensively assess the carbon footprint of the CellScrew®, we are currently conducting a life cycle analysis.
-
Can cells be visualized under the microscope in the CellScrew®?The CellScrew® cannot be microscoped, similar to most other expansion systems that exceed a growth surface of ~300 cm². However, we are currently developing a fully automated, closed production platform for the cellScrew. This platform will allow you to monitor and control all crucial cultivation parameters to create a controlled and reproducible process.
-
Do I need to buy additional equipment to use the CellScrew®?The CellScrew® is handled just as a regular roller bottle, where it is placed in an incubator on a roller device. However, it is crucial to position the roller bottle at a 10-15 degree angle on the roller to ensure the filter cap remains dry and the system operates effectively. For simultaneous cultivation of three CellScrew® mini in the dimensions of a CellScrew® 6K, the first order of our bundle includes the CellScrew®mini TriDock.
-
Is the CellScrew® sterile?Yes, the CellScrew® comes fully sterilized, as it is vacuum sealed and gamma irradiated. We strongly advise against autoclaving the CellScrew® as it can cause damage to the product's structure and integrity.
