Optimized Cell Growth, No 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.
Improved Cell Adhesion
Planet-Safe® cell culture surfaces exhibit improved cellular adhesion when compared leading brands. Planet-Safe® 96-well F-bottom microplates were seeded with NBT-II cells in 0.2ml growth medium at various densities.
Cellular adhesion was recorded by measuring the metabolic activities of adhered cells at 24hrs post-seeding. The Planet-Safe® surface was found to contain, on average, 42% more cells indicating a surface that is more conducive to cell adhesion.
Reliable Cell Growth
Cells propagated during the cell adhesion study were seeded at a density of 1-2 x 10^4 cells/well in 0.2ml growth medium. Cell growth measurements began 24 hours post-seeding and continued over the following 3 days. The resulting data, shown in Tables 1-3, indicates identical growth rates between the Planet-Safe® and Supply Sample surfaces.
Proven Compatability
Planet-Safe® Labware shows normal growth and support of both adherent and suspension cells several lines, including those listed below. Observed growth rate and confluence results were comparable to leading tissue-culture treated polystyrene dishes.
