CELLSTAR® CELL REPELLENT SURFACE

Surfaces used in cell culture are generally designed for an optimal cell adherence. CELLSTAR® cell culture vessels with a cell-repellent surfaces have been developed to prevent cell attachment to the surface effectively. The product portfolio of Greiner Bio-One with non-binding surfaces includes dishes, plates, and flasks.

The ultra-low attachement surface products are by default sterile, non-cytotoxic, free of detectable endotoxins, detectable DNase / RNase and human DNA and have a shelf-life of 4 years.

Product Overview

Cell-Repellent Surface

Cell Culture Dishes

Cell culture vessels with cell-repellent surface reliably prevent cell attachment in suspension cultures of semi adherent / adherent cell lines where standard hydrophobic surfaces generally used for suspension culture are insufficient.

Cell-Repellent Surface

Cell Culture Flasks

A cell-repellent surface reliably prevents cell attachment in suspension cultures of semiadherent and adherent cell lines where standard hydrophobic surfaces generally used for suspension culture are insufficient.

Cell repellent surface

Multiwell plates / microplates

Available as 6 / 12 / 24 and 48 well multiwell plates. Also available are the 96 and 384 well plates with various well geometries and optional µClear® film bottom.

Prevent cell attachment to support the formation of 3D cell cultures

Cell culture is an essential tool in drug discovery, tissue engineering, toxicology testing, stem cell research, as well as in basic research. Beside conventional two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell culture, 3D cell culture models are becoming a routine tool which enables the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components as well as the formation of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These characteristics are important for replicating in vivo cell differentiation, proliferation, and function in vitro. Cell culture vessels with cell-repellent surface are suitable for this purpose. These are also an ideal platform for long-term cultivation in hydrogels.

Applications for the ultra-low attachent surfaces:

  • Suspension culture of semi-adherent and adherent cell lines
  • Spheroid cell culture of a single spheroid per well in round-bottom, or multiple spheroids in flat-bottom microplates, flasks, and dishes
  • Aggregation of stem cells, as a key step for cultivation and differentiation in 3D
  • 3D culture in hydrogels without cell migration out of the hydrogel and formation of 2D subcultures
  • Indispensable part of the magnetic 3D cell culture technology
