Microplate Surface Supports Growth of Spheroid Cultures
15 Sept 2014BrandTech Scientific, Inc. announces the availability of inertGrade™ microplates for the cultivation of non-adherent cell lines, spheroids, and stem cells in a 96-well plate format.
These polystyrene plates are manufactured in one of the largest, most modern cleanroom facilities for laboratory disposable items in the world. Rather than the more common treatments to enhance the natural hydrophobic characteristics of polystyrene, these new microplates are treated with a proprietary hydrogel. This creates a hydrophobic interface between the surface of the plastic and cellular material to inhibit cell and protein attachment. This unique low-binding microplate surface successfully suppresses the adhesion of a wide variety of adherent cell lines, can enhance the formation and maintenance of uniform spheroid cultures, and can inhibit early differentiation of stem cells or neurospheres. InertGrade 96-well microplates are available with round, flat, or curved bottoms in clear, white, black, and colored with transparent bottoms.

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.
