Cell growth without additional coatings
Planet-Safe® Cell Culture dishes made from PLA are considerably more hydrophilic than petrochemical resins such as polystyrene. This beneficial property allows a variety of anchorage-dependent cell species to grow on the dish surface without added coatings or treatments.
use across multiple cell lines
Test cultures with Planet-Safe® Cell Culture dishes show normal growth and support of several cell lines including adherent Human Embryonic Kidney-derived cells (HEK293), Monkey Kidney Fibroblast-derived cells (COS), and others. Observed growth rate and confluence results were comparable to leading tissue-culture treated polystyrene dishes.
Increased stability & reproducibility
During the washing step, a monolayer of cells is subject to a level of fluid force that can cause cell rupture and lead to cell loss. This fluid shear is the result of inconsistencies on the culture surface. In side-by-side testing Planet-Safe® Cell Culture dishes exhibited a much lower percentage of fluid shear compared to other available popular brands.
