FAQ

What is the substrate thickness on NanoSurface plates and is the substrate transparent?
The substrate thickness (glass plus polymer coating) is specified at 160 - 190 microns (0.16 - 0.19 mm). This is the same thickness specification as a No. 1...

Can I grow cells directly on NanoSurface Cultureware or do I need to do ECM protein coating?
Highly-adherent cells can grow directly on the nanopatterned surfaces as shipped, but for certain cell types it may be beneficial to modify or coat the surf...

Is there any cell seeding density suggested by NanoSurface Biomedical for the application of iPSCs? If yes, is the required cell seeding density different from that of conventional cultureware (flat and hard substrates)?
We have suggestions for cell seeding density for several of the commercially available cell lines. These information will be provided to you by our applicat...
