MICROPATTERNED MULTIWELL PLATES 96 OR 384 WELLS
For high throughput screening and high content imaging of cell-based micropatterned assays
4Dcell micropatterned multi-well plates hold a perfectly organized and stable culture substrate aiming for cell normalization. Evenly distributed on adhesive patterns, cells have a controlled geometry allowing standardization of the assays.
4Dcell micropatterning technology enables 2D cell geometry control. A set of patterns is arranged on a glass bottom to receive cells. Using an anti-adhesive agent and some ECM proteins such as fibronectin or collagen, cells adhere and acquire the shape imposed by the micropattern.

HOW TO HANDLE YOUR 96 OR 384 MICROPATTERNED WELL PLATES
FEATURES & BENEFITS
> 4Dcell micropatterned 96 well plates hold a patterned surface to control the 2D geometry of cells and standardize cellular assays.
> Each 96-well plate has the 6 standard shapes of 4Dcell: dots, squares, rectangles, triangles, lines, and grids, as well as sizes going from 10 to 150 µm.
> We also offer the choice of a customizable solution (additional shapes and dimensions).
> The 4Dcell device is compatible with industrial standards for screening platforms (e.g. drug discovery).
> The bottom of the 4Dcell plate is made in glass and is coated with a stable anti-adhesive polymer to delimitate the borders of the patterns. This coating is resistant to oxidation, can be kept at room temperature for six months, and enables keeping the cells in patterns for several days.
