Discovery
Labware is a business unit of BD Biosciences that develops, manufactures,
and markets innovative products for tissue culture, fluid handling, drug discovery,
and drug metabolism featuring its key BD Falcon™, BD BioCoat™, and BD Gentest™
brands. BD Falcon was the first tissue culture-treated plastic labware products
developed that enabled scientists to grow cells in vitro. BD BioCoat was the
first commercially precoated cell cultureware, that combined plastics with
extracellular matrix proteins (ECMs) and attachment factors. These technological
breakthroughs marked a new era in cell culture research by making existing
processes more efficient and convenient. Recognized for its outstanding quality,
consistency, and value for over 40 years, Discovery Labware is committed to
advancing cell science research worldwide through excellence and innovation.

Falcon™ Cell Culture Flasks BD Biosciences offers the largest selection of flask sizes
ranging from 12.5 cm2 to 300 cm2. What makes the BD Falcon™ line of cell culture
flasks stand out from the competition is not only its unique gas plasma
tissue culture treated surface treatment, but also easy to open packaging,
variety of flasks and assortment of caps. |

Flask Caps
for BD Falcon™ and BD BioCoat™ Flasks BD Biosciences offers several easy on/off cap styles
suited to your application and feel right in your hand. Our industry-standard
Plug-Seal Caps provide a liquid-tight seal when closed and an "open
incubation" position for reliable gas exchange when partially opened. A
reference bar on the outside of the cap is aligned with the
"FALCON" on the flask for precise open-incubation conditions. Our
Vented Caps allow consistent gas exchange when the caps are in the closed
position. Gases required for cell growth and metabolism pass freely through
the vent while microorganisms cannot. Lined, Phenolic Caps are available for
long-term cultures. The rigid cap material allows the cap to be easily spun
onto the neck during repetitive manipulations. Our white caps identify
nontreated flasks. |

BD
Falcon™ Multiwell Cell Culture Plates Reliable growth surfaces assure consistent cell
performance. All tissue-culture treatments render polystyrene
hydrophilic and result in the incorporation of a variety of anionic
functional groups that support cell culture. To ensure reproducible results
and conditions, all BD Falcon™ tissue-culture treatment is performed in a
vacuum chamber. BD Falcon Primaria™ tissue-culture treatment additionally
incorporates nitrogen-containing functional groups that have been shown to
improve attachment and spreading of some cell types. BD Falcon nontreated plates have a more hydrophobic
surface and show reduced cell attachment. |

BD
Falcon™ Polystyrene Microplates As large dedicated libraries of chemical compounds are screened
against an increasing number of genomic targets, the necessity for robust
microplate vessels intensifies. As the first company to provide sterile
disposable labware, BD Biosciences continues to break barriers with its BD
Falcon™ microplate line, now complete with well-characterized dimensions and
surface chemistries. Whether choosing between assays with fluorescent,
luminescent or colorimetric endpoints, trust BD Falcon™ HTS microplates for
better discovery, better detection and better decision-making tools. |

Falcon™ CultureSlides BD Falcon CultureSlides for in situ analysis BD Falcon CultureSlides allow you to culture cells and
then analyze them on a glass microscope slide. Cells are grown in a plastic chamber
affixed to a specially prepared glass microscope slide. Cells can be fixed
and stained in place without disruption of the cell monolayer. The chamber is
easily and safely removed with an easy-to-use disposable Safety Removal Tool. |

Falcon™ TufRol™ Roller Bottles The BD Falcon™ TufRol™ Roller Bottle has a one-piece
design. While polystyrene does not normally offer high-impact resistance, the
BD Falcon™ TufRol™ bottle is manufactured using a proprietary manufacturing
process that provides good impact resistance. This inherent high-strength
feature reduces the risk of messy spills and loss of precious contents during
accidental mishandling. Roller bottles are used in both research and manufacturing
applications involving the scale-up of mammalian cells for purposes of virus
propagation and bioproduct production. BD Falcon TufRol Roller Bottles are
tissue-culture treated, nonpyrogenic and sterilized by gamma irradiation. As
with most BD Falcon™ products, our Roller Bottles are manufactured under a
registered ISO 9002 Quality System. |
