Spot Plates for Chemistry

Find spot plates and culture plates for watching reactions.

Use spot plates (also called reaction plates or culture plates) to perform controlled tests with a small amount of chemical. Each reaction plate features 12 or more wells in which to perform the experiment. The wells function as tiny beakers.

The types of chemistry spot plates available for your lab are made of autoclavable ceramic or porcelain; we also have a clear plastic microplate or culture dish available.

Porcelain spot plate: This one has 12 wells, each about 20 mm in diameter at the top. Since it's white ceramic, it works well to observe color change reactions. It's durable, acid- and alkali-resistant, easy-to-clean, and autoclavable.

Microplate or micro culture dish: Made of clear plastic, these will serve you well in microchemistry experiments. The 24 flat-bottom wells each hold about 3 ml. The entire plate measures 3" x 5" overall.

While intended for chemistry, spot plates' unique design makes them useful for many purposes. One customer used his to observe the life cycle of insects. How else could you use them?
