The NUNC low cell binding (LCB) surface prevents cell attachment in plates and dishes by presenting a phosphorylcholine moiety to cells, mimicking the surface of a cell membrane. The surface is non-animal-derived, biologically inert, biocompatible and ready for use with no pre-hydration step. Typical applications for LCB plates include culture of suspension cells, stem cells, spheroids, embryoid bodies and macrophages. The surface resists protein adsorption, a benefit for measuring soluble cell products in low concentration. The new surface is available in 60 or 90 mm dishes, or 6-, 12-, 24- or 96-well plates, all clear, sterile, made with polystyrene and irradiated. Nunc 800-446-2543 www.nuncbrand.com
