Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Nunc Hydrocell surface for the cultivation of single cells and cell clusters in suspension.
Designed to prevent cell attachment, the Nunc Hydrocell surface allows scientists to grow in suspension cells that are sensitive to unwanted activation and differentiation signals arising from cell adhesion.
Furthermore, the adsorption of culture medium derived proteins and cell-secreted proteins to the Nunc Hydrocell surface is minimal.
With the Nunc Hydrocell surface, more homogenous suspension cultures and higher yields of cells and cell-secreted proteins can be achieved across many cell culture applications, including those involving monocytes/macrophages and different types of stem cells.
The Nunc Hydrocell surface is a thin layer of a covalently-immobilised, super-hydrophilic polymer and is available as sterile Microwell plates, dishes and multi-dishes, all with a certificate stating conformance to functional, sterility, non-pyrogenic and toxicity tests.
