General description

A general-purpose microcarrier for most established, anchorage-dependent cell lines.

High yield culture of anchorage-dependent cells: Microcarrier culture is a technique which makes possible the practical high yield culture of anchorage-dependent cells. Cytodex has been specifically developed for the culture of a wide range of animal cells in culture volumes ranging from a few mL to more than 6000 L. Using Cytodex in simple suspension culture systems provides yields of several million cells per mL.

Suitable for most established cell lines: Formed by substituting a cross-linked dextran matrix with positively charged DEAE* groups distributed throughout the matrix, is a general purpose microcarrier. It is particularly suitable for most established cell lines and for production of viruses or cell products from cultures of primary cells and normal diploid cell strains.

Features and Benefits

  • General-purpose microcarrier for most established, anchorage-dependent cell lines.
  • Contains positive charges throughout the microporous matrix.
  • Transparent for easy microscopic examination of attached cells.

Preparation Note

Prior to use, swell beads in PBS (50 mL/g) and autoclave at 120 °C.
