Macroporous Cytopore, microcarriers for cell culture Cytopore 2 macroporous microcarriers are principally designed for use in suspension culture systems for growth of adherent diploid cells requiring a higher surface charge, and the production of recombinant proteins. Microcarrier culture is a technique which makes possible the high yield culture of anchorage-dependent cells. Cytopore microcarriers are macroporous making it possible for cells to grow in 3D. They supply an even larger surface area per volume to enhance this already high-yielding culture technique. Features The microcarriers are positively charged due to the DEAE groups coupled to the cellulose matrix. The microcarriers have a very precise particle size distribution, and a network structure, where the ratio of surface area to particle material is more than 95 to 1. The network structure enables stained cells to be closely observed while they grow inside the microcarriers.
