35-mm Dishes for Cell Culture

The 35-mm dishes are small rounded dishes. The diameter of these dishes is 35 mm. However, the diameter (excluding the wall width) for cell growth is 24 mm which corresponds to a 9 cm2 area. They are often used for specific experiments which involve transfection/treatment and collecting lysate for protein or RNA analysis.
