Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces New Low Binding Surface for Cell Culture

Thermo Scientific Nunc HydroCell Surface Provides Reduced Cell Adhesion and Protein Adsorption for Maximum Sample Recovery in Single-Cell and Cell-Cluster Cultures.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has introduced the new Nunc™ HydroCell™ Surface for the cultivation of single cells and cell clusters in suspension. Designed to prevent cell attachment, the Nunc HydroCell Surface allows scientists to grow in suspension cells that are sensitive to unwanted activation and differentiation signals arising from cell adhesion. Furthermore, the adsorption of culture medium-derived proteins and cell-secreted proteins to the Nunc HydroCell Surface is minimal.

With the Nunc HydroCell Surface, more homogenous suspension cultures and higher yields of cells and cell-secreted proteins can be achieved across many cell culture applications, including those involving monocytes/macrophages and different types of stem cells. The Nunc HydroCell Surface is a thin layer of a covalently-immobilized super hydrophilic polymer and is available as sterile MicroWell™ plates, dishes and multi-dishes, all with a certificate-stating conformance to functional, sterility, non-pyrogenic and toxicity tests.
