Microplates for Cell Culture (sterile)
Cell culture is increasing in popularity in the research and development area. Outside of basic research, cells are cultivated today for a number of reasons, including the production of proteins and in particular as assay systems. As cell cultures can sometimes be quite demanding regarding their environment, the disposables used for cultivation have to be of highest quality. The four different cell culture surfaces of the BRANDplates® allow the optimum combination between microplate and specific cell line.

cellGradeä
Standard plate for the cultivation of adherent cell cultures. PS-surface with different chemical groups, like e.g. carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, that are freely accessible. Surface is hydrophilic compared with non-treated PS.
cellGradeä plus
For cultivation of fastidious cell cultures. In addition to carboxyl and hydroxyl chemical groups, free amino groups are present on the surface. The surface has a protein-like composition; cells can directly attach and spread out. Cells adhere faster, better rate of yield. Suited for serum reduced cultivation of cells.
cellGradeä premium
Poly-D-Lysine-equivalent surface, with analogous results regarding growth performance and cell morphology. Optimal adhesion of cells to the surface reduces cell damage when washing frequently. Surface suited for serum-free and serum-reduced cultivation of cells. Good shelf life at room temperature.
inertGradeä
For cultivation of suspension cell cultures. Especially suited for cell cultures, when adhesion is not desired. Optimized surface characteristics reducing cell adhesion and protein adsorption, enzyme and cellular activation is minimized. Stem cells can be prevented from early differentiation.
