Does anyone know if a Corning 24-well tissue culture plate can be heated to 37-degrees C (98.6-degrees F) without any issues? The last thing I want is the plate to melt, or some other catastrophic event to occur, while trying to incubate tissue in 2N HCl....
37 C should be fine, I've had them in 90 C water baths with 1N NaOH with no issues.
D. Hutchins has already answered your primary question. However, I thought you might also find this "Chemical Compatibility" chart useful (see link below).
The tissue culture plate you referenced would be PS on the chart - for polystyrene.

Hello
i agree with the researchers , Corning 24-well can withstand temperatures higher than 37 C with 2N HCl

Good Luck,
