Product Description

The Mimetix® Aligned 96-well plate is an easy to use tool for the culture of cells which are influenced by topographical features. The Mimetix aligned fibres are welded into a standard 96-well plate frame without the use of glue. They are fixed at the well edges but loose inside wells allowing cells to wrap around them fibres.

Aligned microfibres provide a physical structure for the 3D culture of cell from tissues such as the central nervous system, skeletal muscle and heart, where cellular orientation has been shown to play a significant role in the respective tissue functions, and aims to induce these functions in vitro.

General Features:

• Minimal protocol adaption required to switch from 2D to 3D.
• Compatible with industry-standard automated handling and imaging equipment.
• High batch-to-batch consistency.

Scaffold Specifications:

• Material: medical-grade poly-L-lactide (PLLA)
• Fibre diameter: 2 μm
• Scaffold thickness: 2-4 μm
• Fibre density: 130 fibers/ mm2
• Non-biodegradable in in vitro applications
• Supplied with lid.
• Supplied gamma- or e-beam- irradiated in individually-sealed plastic wrapping.

Usage & Handling:

• Compatible with fluorescence microscopy.
• Scaffolds can be coated with materials to facilitate cell adhesion in low serum conditions.
