Low cell binding plates/dishes HydroCell

Low cell binding plates/dishes

 

HydroCell®



 

Key features of HydroCell®

♦Super hydrophilic polymer is fixed to the surface of the dish/plate at nano-thickness level.
♦The surface is highly cells/protein resistent
♦Applications
Improved macrophage culture "in vitro".
Embryoid body formation from ES cells.
Spheroid formation in culture.
Preservation of scarce or rare samples.






 

Advantages of HydroCell®

Collection rate of cells/proteins 99%+
♦Reliable for collection of scarce samples
♦Resist attachment of very sticky cells


 

INSTRUCTION

Culturing cells
♦Do not scratch the surface of the dish/plates when disseminating cells or changing media.

♦Otherwise same level of caution as non-polymer coated dish/plate applies.

After collecting cells
♦The product is intended for one time use only. Please do not re-use the product.

Low cell binding plates/dishes

 
Microscopic view of cells cultured by "HydroCell®"

From the data below, it can be concluded that...
1) The collection rate of those dishes without polymer is very poor.
2) There seems to be a large quality variance depending on the kinds of the cells cultured among those dishes who also advocates "low cell binding dishes".


 
Macrophage
Macrophage were cultured on 3 different dishes holding other variables constant. Attached cells were observed on dish 2) and 3), whereas more than 99% of cells were still floating for dish 1).
1) HydroCell® 2) Other low cell-binding brand 3) Non-coated
A-549
A-549 were cultured on 2 different dishes holding other variables constant. Almost all the cells attached to the surface of dish for 2). On the other hand, more than 99% of cells were still floating for dish 1).
1) HydroCell® 2) Non-coated
High-throughput screening of anti-cancer drug using HydroCell
Background: Anchorage-independent cell growth is one of the expressed feature of the cancer cells. By taking this advantage, much easier and much higher-throughput anti-cancer drug screening is possible by using HydroCell.
Methodology: By taking normal NRK cells as a control (1. EGF-·TGF-,2. EGF-·TGF+ ,3. EGF+·TGF-), NRK cells, treated by EGF and TGF to derive cancer cells, were cultured on normal 96 multi-well plate and 96 multi-well HydroCell for 3 days. Their growth measured by comparing the absorbance.
Summary of the findings: Anchorage-independent cell growth, which is the primary feature of the cancer cells, can be measured purely when HydroCell is used, without the effect of external factors to the mono-layered cells. Therefore much easier and much faster screening of anti-cancer drug ,which specificly impede the cell growth, is possible when HydroCell is used.

Low cell binding plates/dishes

 


 
Q. Isn't it expensive when compared to the other brands asserting same "low cellbinding" dishes/plates?
A. There are other brands who are communicating similar concepts to ours. However, depending on the type of the cells cultured, some completely adhere to the surface of the dish or the corner of the dishes for those brands. Ours is the sole product which even the macrophage does not stick and achieves more than 99% of collection rate irrespective of cell type or protein type cultured.
Q. What are the other uses than culturing immune cells such as macrophage?
A. We recommend such uses as...
1) Formation of embryoid ES cells
2) Anchorage independent coony formation of cancer cells
3) Spheroid formation
