Cell Culture Surfaces

This Chart will help you find the best polystyrene-based surface to meet your cell culture needs. Click on the desired surface for additional technical information.

Corning Surface	Binding Interaction	Effects on Cell Attachment
Untreated polystyrene	Hydrophobic	Reduces most cell attachment but not as much as Ultra-Low Attachment Surface
Ultra-Low Attachment coated polystyrene	Hydrophilic and nonionic	Hydrogel layer prevents cell attachment forcing cells to stay in suspension
Standard tissue culture treated polystyrene	Hydrophilic and ionic (negatively charged)	Allows most cells to attach and spread on polystyrene
Corning® CellBIND® modified polystyrene	Hydrophilic and ionic (negatively charged)	Improves attachment and spreading of some cells to polystyrene compared to standard tissue culture treatments
Poly-D-lysine coated polystyrene	Hydrophilic and ionic (positively charged)	Coating improves cell attachment and binding of some cell types to polystyrene

For information on modified polystyrene surfaces on microplates for the binding or covalent immobilization of proteins, nucleic acids, and other types of biomolecules for use in assays see Assay Surfaces .
