BRAND plates inert Grade 96-well microplates for cultivation of suspension and stem cells are available in a full range of well shapes and colors. These individually wrapped sterile plates have orange embossed alphanumeric lettering for easy identification of surface treatment and well locations. These microplates are especially suited for cell cultures when adhesion is not desired. Hydrogel technology optimizes the surface characteristics to suppress interactions of cells or protein with the polystyrene plastic. This reduction of cell adhesion and protein adsorption minimizes enzyme and cellular activation to aid in the inhibition of the differentiation of progenitor or stem cells and promotes the formation of spheroids.
