When someone asks me about tissue culture plastics I can only answer one way "TPP". We have used others and there is just no comparison in the quality of the product. We have used TPP for 10 years and expect to use it for another 10. There are 25 people in our lab and for the money we won’t use anything less than the best. That is why we stock only TPP."

Erik - University of Nebraska Medical Center

"I have used the TPP tissue culture items for over 15 years, and have found the products unsurpassed in consistency and quality. In the past I have tried other vendor's products but they are not useful in all applications. I can always depend on the performance of the TPP products and would recommend the TPP brand.."

Sue - Duke University

"I have used TPP cell culture products for over 7 years. Experiment after experiment, they’re the best cell culture products on the market."

Michelle - Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center

"TPP products have been designed with the end-user in mind. A combination of innovative design, high performance and competitive pricing means that only TPP cell culture products have been used in my laboratory for the past 3 years. I highly recommend TPP products to any researcher looking to save money, whilst maintaining the quality of their tissue culture."

Noel, Ph.D,. Naprogenix, Inc. - Lexington, Ky

"We have been using TPP tissue culture products in our lab for a long time without any problems. TPP is better than other brands in quality, and more economical. We will continue to use them in the future."

Santhosh - University of Cincinnati

"All of the tissue culture plastics from TPP are able to stack securely to one another. This works great for our laboratory because we have limited storage space in our incubators. We generally have an abundance of cell lines going and multiple experiments at one time and with the increased space it never feels crowded!"

M. Sarah - University of Kansas Medical Center

"I am always impressed with the guaranteed quality of TPPs products! We always feel comfortable with the certification and assurance of RNase, DNase, pyrogen-free plastics!"

Autumn - University of Kansas Medical Center

"The tissue culture plastics that we buy from MIDSCI are less expensive, of great quality, well packaged, and especially work well for our research purposes. No need to spend more money for what you need to do."

Mohamed - Washington State University

"For the past 7 years, our lab has exclusively used TPP tissue culture flasks and dishes and has found that their quality is unsurpassed by similar products offered by other competitors. As for MIDSCI, our experience with the company has only been positive due to the high level of excellence we have experienced with their customer service and sales representatives. That said, we regularly recommend MIDSCI to our colleagues."

R.S., Assistant Professor - University of IL-Chicago

"Unlike some other major brands of culture flasks and dishes, the TPP culture products can be stacked without the risk of collapse at a mere touch…."

Erik - St. Jude

"We use and like TPP dishes and flasks because the plastic is ridiculously clear and make it easy for us to find our parasite in host cells. We have had the best results when using TPP to bring up freezer stocks of human fibroblasts. We use the TPP flasks because they have no "Dead space" and you can grow to all the corners in the flask as well as get the highest parasite yield when harvesting from a fibroblast monolayer."

Kyle - University of Wisconsin-Madison, Microbial Sciences

"The design of the TPP flask is great for our high throughput production environment. The angled neck allows larger sizes of serological pipettes to reach the corners of the flask. This both increases our efficiency of transfer and limits the repetitions entering the flask minimizing the risk of contaminations. The flat surface allows our hybridoma cells to grow evenly, maximizing growth for our expansions."

Nick - Neoclone

"We started using TPP products about two years ago. We initially evaluated the T150 flasks because of the cost savings. The flat surface of the flasks was superior to the flasks we had been using. We were able to reduce the use of serum and in some cases eliminate serum use while maintaining adherence for additional cost savings. We currently use TPP products for all of our adherent cell work."

Margie - Research ManagerWisconsin

"I love the design of the TPP culture flask because of the square bottoms and angled openings! When they are standing up, the flat bottom stabilizes the flask. And when they are laying down, the opening sits on a slant and prevents media from running into the cap!"

Kimberly - University of Kansas Medical Center

"All of the TPP tissue culture items I use are the best. The serrated edge dishes are so easy to handle while also providing better stacking stability. The flasks make cell retrieval simple and more efficient when scraping and the vented caps are great because they have the “click” that ensures cap security and good air flow."

Jennifer - St Jude

"I liked the design of the flasks….the neck is way high up so that there is no chance of the media going in the neck and causing contamination…also the rim around the dishes is something I really liked…really great for holding the dishes while doing trypsinization etc….the dishes and flasks have excellent attachment properties and are great for cell culture."

Piyali - Marshall University

"One example out of the many reasons why our lab loves the TPP Tissue Culture dishes is that they are incredibly easy to handle. They are not bulky and awkward like other brands and you can pick them up and move them without hassle and more importantly without spills!!! Not to mention that every one of our cell lines seems to grow fantastic…"

Weihl Lab - Washington University in St. Louis

"We work with HCMV and a variety of human cells (HFF, 293T, Phoenix, etc.). We prefer TPP’s tissue culture dishes because they help keep our cells free of contamination and are easy to work with. The lids seal well and don’t shift around like some other ones we have used. There is plenty of space to record what we are working with. Also, they stack very nicely for easy transportation and for sitting in the incubators."

Katherine - Medical College of Wisconsin

"I have been using TPP products since the MIDSCI rep introduced them to me. I have continued ordering them because they are high quality and they have a unique feature not found on any other labware that I have come across. They have a special label film that allows me to write on the dish, plate, or tube with pencil, pen , or marker with no fear of my writing coming off. Also this writing area is found both on the dish lid and the dish itself. No more confusing which dish goes with which lid. Keep up the good work."

John B. - University of Cincinnati

"For MIDSCI cat# TP93100 (TPP 100mm tissue culture dishes), We have this to say: “The textured edges on the TPP culture dishes make handling much easier. It’s GREAT!"

Andrew - Mensing HumanZyme, Inc.

"We really like the TPP dishes over other brands for several reasons. First, the textured ring around the dish really helps ensure a solid grip on the dishes while working with them, especially if trying to manipulate several dishes at a time. Also, the bright yellow writing surface helps in the labeling and identification of dishes when you have an incubator that is full. Finally, we work with a lot of difficult to grow cells, and the TPP dishes have performed very well in helping us achieve our scientific goals."

John - Northwestern University

"These dishes have made my long days of culture much easier! The convenient yellow label on the front of the dishes allows me to quickly locate specific dishes in our incubators. I also have found that they are easier to grasp and stack, which reduces chances of spillage. I much prefer these dishes, I use the 60mm, 40mm, and 24-well plates."

Gina, Research Technician - Northwestern University

"I like the TPP design and the yellow strip which allows me to label my dishes for tissue culture."

Rey - Vanderbilt University

Weihl Lab ;- Washington University in St. Louis

"One of the TPP Products we really love is the Tiny 10cm Flasks. With our cell strains when we were transferring before we would lose a lot of cells. This flask allows us to just add the trypsin and spin it down. By not having to transfer our cells we don’t lose them like we used to. This is a great product and we love it."

Svetlana Lab, Coordinator - MD Anderson Cancer Center

"I am writing this letter to recommend the MIDSCI products I use. My favorite TPP product is the cell scraper as it works like an efficient squigy on the bottom of my culture cell dishes. The handle rotates so that you can reach every part of the surface of the dish. I would highly recommend MIDSCI products to any lab doing cell culture and molecular biological methods."

Barbara Medical - College of Wisconsin

"The PCV Reading device is great for measuring cell volumes of microorganisms that grow well in broth media within 24 hours, especially when they are pellicle forming bacteria. The procedure is simple and quick. "

Inge Windward - Community College Hawaii

"We use the TPP Serological Pipettes for a few reasons. I like the fact that they don’t drip like some of the others and that they are shorter allowing for better mobility when working under the hood."

Adrienne, Research Technician - Baylor College of Medicine

"We really like the quality of the TPP 50ml tubes. A lot of tubes we’ve used in the past buckle in the centrifuge and these don’t. Also, they don’t crack in the -80. The tubes are rock solid and we really like them."

Julio, Research Associate - University of Texas Medical School

"MIDSCI has a real hit with the centrifuge tubes by TPP. (I use the 15 ml and 50 ml). I work with Hepatitis C virus from patient blood, so safety is a huge concern. The TPP tubes stay sealed and never leak or crack during high speed spins. Because legible labeling is critical in our lab, I really like that the label on the top of the tube does not smear even after being in the freezer. "
