Coatings/Treatment options

• Collagen coating
  Extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen provide an attachment framework for the adhesion and growth of certain cell types in vivo and can also be used for cell attachment to plate surfaces in vitro. Cellular fibronectin membrane proteins mediate the attachment of cells to collagen substrates. 
  PhenoPlates microplates are available with collagen coating in both 96- and 384-well formats. Our catalog plates are coated with rat tail collagen Type I, which is suitable for use with endothelial and epithelial cells, muscle cells and hepatocytes. 
• PDL coating
  Poly-D-lysine (PDL) is a synthetic positively charged polymer that promotes cell adherence by interacting with the negative charges of the cell membrane. PDL is a synthetic protein that does not influence cellular signaling pathways, is not degraded by cellular proteases, and is completely free of any animal contaminants. 
  PhenoPlates microplates are available with PDL coating in both 96- and 384-well formats. Almost all cell types will adhere to PDL coated plate bottoms.
• Spheroid ULA
  PhenoPlates Spheroid ULA clear 96-well polystyrene microplates enable the use of three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models for cell-based microplate assays. The unique Ultra-Low Attachment (ULA) surface enables the formation of consistently round spheroids for highly reproducible imaging data. The 3D spheroid cellular model can better simulate natural cellular interactions and mimic in vivo microarchitecture for more biologically relevant information.
