Cell Cultureware and Accessories

Tissue Culture Treated Plates

Tissue culture treated plates offer a surface which enables most adherent cells to attach and proliferate. The 6-, 12-, and 24-well formats provide users flexibility to run multiple samples simultaneously. These plates can be easily prepared for SEM and TEM , and are compatible with cellular and fluorescent staining procedures. These plates can be used independently for general cell culture applications or in conjunction with membrane-based Millicell inserts as receiver plates. All plates are individually wrapped and sterilized.

Millicoat: Extracellular Matrix (ECM)-Coated Plasticware

Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, combined with cellular adhesion molecules on the surface of cells, play as an integral part of cellular tissue organization “in-vivo”.

In vitro, ECM proteins provide a necessary substrate for many fastidious cells to attach to the surface. Studies show that anchorage dependent cells growing on ECM undergo more efficient plating, have a higher proliferation rate, reach a higher density and require lower serum and growth factor concentrations and demonstrate enhanced differentiation potential. Millipore now offers pre-coated ECM multiwell plates in multiple formats including Collagen, and Fibronectin. Poly-D-Lysine coated plates are also available.
