From routine cell culture to scale-up and high-throughput screening, Corning gives you a complete, interoperable toolkit: culture vessels and advanced surfaces, Transwell® inserts for barrier models, HYPERStack® and CellSTACK® systems for expansion, sterile liquid-handling consumables, filtration devices, cryogenic storage, and durable PYREX® glassware. You get consistent performance, clear documentation, and formats that fit your workflows.

Brand Overview

Corning helps you move from discovery to production with reliable materials science and tight process control. Rather than isolated items, you choose coordinated components—surfaces, polymers, membranes, and glass—designed to protect viability, reduce variability, and stay compatible with automation and regulated environments.

Corning’s core strengths include:

• Glass & surface technologies: borosilicate PYREX® glass; specialty culture surfaces (e.g., CellBIND®, ultra-low attachment).

• Cell-culture systems: flasks/plates/dishes, Transwell® inserts, HYPERStack® and CellSTACK® for scale-up.

• Liquid handling & filtration: sterile serological pipettes, pipette tips, reservoirs, vacuum/centrifuge/syringe filtration.

• Cold storage & sample management: cryogenic vials and boxes, barcoding options, batch documents (CoA/SDS).

Key Sub-Brands & Representative Products

Choosing by sub-brand shortens your path to the right format and quality tier. Below are the most-used lines and typical series; you can drill down into dedicated collection pages for detailed specs and pack sizes.

• Gosselin® (where applicable): disposable microbiology items such as Petri dishes and accessories.

Applications & Workflows

Organizing by task helps you configure kits that minimize bottlenecks. The items below map to common lab sequences so you can scale confidently and preserve data quality while switching between research and production environments.

• Cell culture & expansion: choose standard, ultra-low attachment, or CellBIND® surfaces; pair with breathable closures and gas-exchange accessories.

• Scale-up for adherent or suspension work: HYPERStack®/CellSTACK® systems, spinner/shake flasks, single-use accessories for consistent growth at volume.

• Aseptic liquid handling & filtration: vacuum and syringe filters for media and buffers; centrifuge filters for cleanup; membrane choices matched to solvents.

• Cold storage & traceability: cryovials and boxes with labeling options; batch-bound documents (CoA/SDS) for each lot you receive.

• Assay plates & detection: Costar® and Corning microplates for ELISA, imaging, and screening; matched lids, seals, and plate readers’ compatibility notes.

Why Choose Corning

You want reproducible data, clean handoffs between teams, and formats that do not break your automation. Corning focuses on material consistency, dimensional tolerances, and documentation so your SOPs stay valid from pilot experiments to routine runs.

• Lot-to-lot consistency: controlled polymers, membranes, and surfaces keep variability in check.

• Breadth with interoperability: from academia to bioprocess, the same families of items cover R&D and scale-up.

• Automation-ready formats: Axygen® tips/reservoirs and standardized plate/tube geometries suit robots and multi-channel workflows.

• Quality & compliance: sterile/pyrogen-controlled options; DNase/RNase-free selections; full CoA/SDS support.

2. Payment timing: please wait for confirmation before sending payment.

3. Minimum order value: follow the sitewide threshold to combine small items efficiently.

4. Payment terms: align with the standard terms published across the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

These short answers focus on selection, compatibility, paperwork, and timing. If you need deeper technical help, add notes to your quote request and we will route it accordingly.

1. How do I pick a Transwell® pore size and membrane?

Match pore size to your cell model and readout; consider membrane material for permeability and imaging.

2. What should I use for adherent vs. suspension culture?

Choose surface-treated vessels for adherent lines; use ULA or shaker formats for aggregates and suspension.

3. Are Axygen® automation tips compatible with my robot?

Provide the instrument model; we’ll confirm fit and recommend validated tip families.

4. What are the sterile and endotoxin options for cryovials?

Select sterile, pyrogen-controlled SKUs; request documentation tied to delivered lots.

5. How do I receive CoA/SDS linked to my lot?

Include document types in the order; we attach lot-specific files to your shipment confirmation.

6. What lead times should I expect?

Standard items are often stocked; specialty formats may require a short production or consolidation window.
