Corning® PureCoat™ ECM Mimetic Cultureware: Animal-Free, Synthetic Surfaces for Serum-free Culture of Adherent Cells
10 Nov 2014Culture of adherent cells typically requires the use of animal-derived components such as serum and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which promote cell adhesion via cell-surface adhesion receptors. However, concerns about traceability and sourcing of these naturally-derived materials have led to the search for animal-free, serum-free defined culture environments, while still maintaining or improving growth and productivity of the cells. This application note presents synthetic Corning PureCoat ECM Mimetic Cultureware for culture of cell lines relevant for biomanufacturing.

Cell Adhesion AssaysCell adhesion assays are used to quantitate attachment and analyze the molecular mechanisms for extracellular matrix adhesion, cell migration and sensitivity to inhibitors. Find the best cell adhesion assay equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
