35mm dish has built-in cell relocation
grid
As the dish allows scientists to address 400 individual positions separately, each process can be followed with a statistical relevant number of cells in one experiment
Ibidi has released a new 35mm u-Dish with a grid for the relocation of cells on a regular pattern for ease of observation Such a dish allows for the individual relocation of multiple cells

Product range allows cell culturing and high resolution microscopy on one and the same slide, facilitating protocols for immunofluorescence and Fish as well as cutting costs
Cell biologists have been calling for microscopic technologies that will allow for the repeated individual analysis of multiple cells.
Ibidi's answer is a u-Dish35mmgrid-500 containing a relocating grid with a repeating unit size of 500um.
The setup allows an easy relocation of cells in numbered rectangles.
The surface of the dish can be either hydrophobic or tissue culture treated.
The Ibitreat surface assures excellent cell growth and a compatibility with fluorescence microscopy.
"Relocation of individual cells on the microscope is an important technique for the investigation of certain phenotypes", commented Ulf Radler, the responsible project manager at Ibidi.
In time series one can follow a number of different biological processes such as cell migration, tracing the development of cells or tracking the motion of a protein over time.
Samples of these dishes can be ordered via the free sample programme on the Ibidi website.
