CELL CULTURE EVALUATION & RESEARCH PLATES

CELLTREAT® 3D cell cultures plates are available with Polystyrene (PS) Inserts for routine cell culture, drug discovery studies, cancer models and stem cell research or Polycaprolactone (PCL) Insets, a biodegradable polymer, for applications including tissue engineering and animal implantation.

Features of PS and PCL 3D Cell Culture Plates:

Pre-Sterilized and Ready to Use
3D Insert™-PCL scaffolds are packaged into wells of tissue culture plates and terminally sterilized using gamma radiation. PCL Scaffolds are available in pre-packaged tissue culture plates ranging from 6-well to 96-well.

100% Connectivity
The pores of the products are 100% open, making it easy for cells to be seeded throughout the porous scaffolds and the nutrient and cell metabolic waste to be exchanged. This feature makes the products especially useful in conducting dynamic cultures where the medium can perfuse through the 100% open porous structure.

Well Defined Pore Size and Porous Structure
3D Insert™-PCL scaffolds precision micro-fabrication technology produces a well-defined pore size and ensures the reproducibility of the porous structure from batch to batch.

Improved Cell Culture Efficiency
3D Insert™-PCL scaffolds have increased surface areas as compared to 2D cell culture plates. There, more cells can be cultured using the same size cell culture dish, plate, flask, bioreactor, etc.

Easy Separation of Cytokines and Growth Factors Secreted by Cultured Cells
3D cell culture scaffolds will not absorb cytokines and growth factors. Therefore, cytokines and growth factors, which are secreted by cultured cells during 3D culture, can be easily separated or recovered from the culture medium without going through any extra separation steps.

3D Insert™-PS Scaffolds are ideal for daily 3D cell culture applications. By utilizing our 3D Insert™-PS, you can turn an ordinary 2D monolayer cell culture into a novel 3 dimensional cell culture environment, enhancing routine cell culture, drug discovery, cancer models and stem cell differentiation.

Additional Features of 3D Insert™-PS Cell Culture Plates:

Easy Imaging and Monitoring Cell Growth
3D Insert™-PS scaffolds are made from polystyrene, the same material as the traditional tissue culture plates. The combination of transparency of the material and the porous structure design makes it possible to monitor cell growth under an inverted light microscope.

Mechanically Strong and Easy to Handle
3D Insert™-PS scaffolds are mechanically strong. Therefore, they are easy to handle and manipulate when needed.

Free of Animal Derived Material
The PS scaffolds are made from 100% synthetic polymer with consistent quality to ensure experimental reproducibility when using different batches of 3D Insert™-PS.

Compatible with Most 2D Cell Culture Protocols, Including Trypsin Digestion Protocol
Cells cultured in non-degradable scaffolds can be assayed using most 2D cell culture assay protocols. Cultured cells can be easily harvested using the same trypsin digestion protocol as in the 2D cell culture.
