SmartPATTERN®

The 4Dcell micropatterning kit includes everything you need to make your own adhesive micropatterns on glass slides for an affordable price.

For each kit, you can choose the shape of the micropatterns among the standard ones offered by 4Dcell or you can customize a specific micropattern.

Run your micropatterning experiment in accordance with your research needs

Everything is provided to support you in your experiment

Toolbox to make homogeneous and reproducible micropatterns

How to handle your 96 or 384 micropatterned well plates

Which kit fits your need?

If you never made any micropatterns:
Micropatterning Station (micropatterning box + UV Printer)

If you already have a UV Printer:
Micropatterning Box (consumables box + optical mask)

If you have all the equipment but want to access the best chemicals:
Consumables Box (slides and aliquots of all the needed solutions)

Micropattern shapes

disks

lines

triangles

squares

rectangles

grids

Or you can ask for customized shapes.

Standard micropatterns sizes go from 10 µm to 100 µm.

To manufacture 100 micropatterned slides, you need:

1 x Optical mask: contains the micropattern features. If you already have optical masks compatible with deep UV, you can use them with our kit
100 x glass slides
1 x Aliquots of extracellular matrix protein for cell adhesion (for example, fibronectin) in the right buffer solution
1 x Aliquots of a fluorescent marker to reveal the micropatterns (for example, fluorescently labeled fibrinogen)
1 x Aliquots of anti-adhesive molecule (poly-ethylene glycol) ready to bind to the glass slide
1 x UV Printer (activation and printing)
