HOW TO HANDLE YOUR ‘DYNAMIC’ MICROPATTERNED COVERSLIPS
The micropatterned dishes are provided in individual sterile bags (aseptic conditions). Available in sets of 20 or 50 dishes to allow optimization oy your experimental conditions with only one kit.
Compatible with high resolution microscopy, phase contrast, immunofluorescence, etc.
The coverslips may be combined with a perfusion chamber.
MICROPATTERNS STANDARD SHAPES AVAILABLE:
As with regular micropatterned coverslips and dishes, the available shapes are:
Disks
Lines
Triangles
Squares
Rectangles
Grids
Customized shapes
Each type of micropatterned coverslip (disks, rectangles, squares, etc.) is arranged as described in the scheme bellow (e.g.: disks).
In each standard coverslip, there are seven zones with distinct pattern sizes (ranging from 10 ?m to 100 ?m). There is an eighth zone where all the sizes are placed together.

A HIGHLY STABLE NON-ADHESIVE COVALENT COATING
Long term cell culture anti-adhesive polymer which is the best in terms of anti-fouling treatment and bonding to the glass slide. Observable by phase contrast microscopy. This is the best option for long term cell culture on micropatterns (more than a week of cell culture).
A HIGHLY EFFICIENT REAGENT FOR RENDERING THE COATING ADHESIVE
he reagent for switching the coating from ‘non-adhesive’ to ‘ adhesive’ and activate cell migration is shipped in aliquots of 50 ug lyophilized powder. Once dissolved in its appropriate solvent, it can be stored at -20°C.
