The inner wall of PrimeSurface products are coated with our unique ultra hydrophilic polymer, which prevents a cell from adhering to the plastic surface induces a spontaneous cell spheroid formation in equal size and shape. |
Features
- Ideal tool for uniform spheroid cell culture formation
- The uniform spheroid cell culture could be effective formed due to the adhesion of cell is inhibited by our unique surface coating technique of PrimeSurface product.
- Ideal tool for differentiation study
- Inducer reagent for differentiation can be applied after EB body formation of ES cells.
- The chemical bonding of ultra-hydrophilic coating polymer on our product is stable culture surface which makes no elution of chemicals from substrate.
- Ideal for differentiation and stimulation response studies
Applications
Medical Research Institution/Laboratory
Cell Culture
For Stem Cell Research:
Induction of ES, iPS and mesenchymal stem cells differentiation by embryoid body formation.
For Drug Screening Research & Development:
An ideal product for drug response studies. Three dimension spheroid models are more physiologically relevant than two dimension monolayer model.
