Low Cell Adhesion Products PrimeSurface™

Products

Made in Japan

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.
