faCellitate Launches new BIOFLOAT™ 1536-Well ULA Plate, Making 3D Cell Culture Even Easier and More Reproducible

faCellitate announced the launch of the BIOFLOAT™ 1536-well ultra-low-attachment (ULA) plate, engineered to deliver rapid, uniform spheroids and reproducible, high-density High-throughput Screening (HTS) readouts to simplify day-to-day 3D cell culture. 

With this step, faCellitate reinforces its product portfolio and reaffirms its commitment to supporting researchers in drug development worldwide. By delivering cutting-edge surface technologies, faCelitate enables consistent and reproducible cell culture, driving innovation and reliability in research. 

Built on the company’s proven BIOFLOAT™ surface technology, the new plate provides a highly defined, fully inert, cell-repellent surface for fast spheroid formation and consistent morphology across all 1536 wells. The result is high-quality data with fewer repeats, smoother automation, and lower cost per experiment. 

“With this launch, we are giving screening teams a practical way to bring 3D biology into true high-throughput workflows” said Dr. Sandra Segeletz, Director of R&D at faCellitate. “The BIOFLOAT™ 1536-well ULA plate enables rapid, uniform spheroid formation and supports the consistency required for large-scale screening. The U-bottom geometry reliably centers spheroids, the black walls minimize light scattering for high-contrast readouts, and the BIOFLOAT™ surface ensures robust spheroid formation, even with scarce or sensitive cell types.” 

Key Benefits & Features 

• Rapid, uniform, reproducible spheroids: BIOFLOAT™ coating promotes fast formation with tight size distribution and consistent morphology across all 1536 wells. 

• Optimized for HTS: Engineered for reproducible, high-density readouts in ultra-high-throughput screening environments. 

• U-bottom geometry: centers spheroids consistently for reliable imaging and downstream analysis. 

• Black walls, clear round bottoms: minimize light scattering for clean, high-contrast signals. 

• Automation-ready & confocal-friendly: compatible with liquid-handling robots, plate readers, and confocal microscopy. 

• Miniaturized workflows: reduce reagent consumption and overall cost per experiment. 

• Reliable with scarce cell types: supports spheroid formation even where conventional ULA plates may fail.
