MICROPATTERNED COVERSLIPS
Patterned slides for immunofluorescence observation
MICROPATTERNED COVERSLIPS
Patterned slides for immunofluorescence observation
4Dcell offers 24 mm round micropatterned coverslips ready to be applied in cell culture experiments.
Several standard micropattern shapes available such as triangles, lines, rectangles, squares, etc.
> READY TO USE
Plate the cells on the patterned coverslip and observe them directly
> ADAPTABLE TO YOUR IMAGING SYSTEM
Place your slide on the imaging system suitable for your study
> VERY STABLE COATING
The covalent bonds formed between the anti-adhesive coating and the glass coverslip enable storing for several months at room temperature
HOW TO HANDLE YOUR MICROPATTERNED COVERSLIPS
FEATURES & BENEFITS
4Dcell micropatterned coverslips are shipped in individual classic 35 mm Petri dishes in plastic bags (aseptic conditions).
Available in sets of 20 or 50 units to allow optimization of your experimental conditions with only one kit. You can choose various micropatterned shapes to compose your set.
Compatible with high resolution microscopy, phase contrast, immunofluorescence, etc.
The coverslips may be combined with perfusion chamber.
MICROPATTERNS STANDARD SHAPES AVAILABLE:
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 µm to 100 µm). There is an eighth zone where all the sizes are placed together.
Standard positionning of micropattern areas
Oxidation resistance anti-adhesive polymer which is less sensitive to oxidation than a classical polymer and has the same type of covalent bonding to the glass slide. After plated you can keep your cells in the patterns for more than a week. Non used coverslips can be stored up to 6 months.
