BRANDplates® inertGrade™ Surface Supports Neurosphere Formation and Maintenance

10 Dec 2014

The BrandTech has developed a super hydrophilic surface based on hydrogel. It establishes an isolating water film in aqueous solutions, which strongly suppresses interactions of cells or proteins with the culture plastic. This application note shows that the hydrogel derived inertGrade™ surface efficiently inhibits cell attachment and thereby prevents unintended differentiation processes of neurospheres.

BRANDplates Cell Culture Microplates - inertGrade™

BRANDTECH® Scientific, Inc.

BRANDplates® inertGrade™ 96-well plates are especially suited for cell culture applications when adhesion is not desired. These plates are specifically designed for the cultivation of suspension, tumor, and stem cells, as well as other spheroid or 3-dimensional tissue culture models. They feature a surface that reduces cell adhesion and protein absorption to minimize enzyme and cellular activation. All BRANDplates® inertGrade™ microplates are sterile according to Ph. Eur. and USP 29, SAL10-6, and are alphanumerically coded with orange embossing for easy plate and well identification. Available clear, white, and black, with U- F- or C-bottom, as well as white or black with transparent bottom, to suit your needs.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
