Porvair has launched range of untreated culture microplates for growing cells in suspension.
Untreated polystyrene plates are the lab tool of choice for growing embryoid bodies and other cells where cell attachment needs to be reduced or avoided.
Natural, unmodified polystyrene surfaces are hydrophobic and only bind cells and biomolecules through passive hydrophobic interactions.
Available in 12-, 24-, 48- and 96 well format and moulded from ultra-pure polystyrene in a class 100,000 cleanroom production environment, the untreated culture plates are supplied with lids in individual sterile packs.
They feature raised well rims to reduce evaporation, a single position lid to avoid cross contamination and alphanumeric code marking to enable easy identification of individual wells.
