Corning® BioCoat® Laminin 60 mm TC-treated Culture Dishes

Corning® BioCoat® Laminin 60 mm TC-treated Culture Dishes, 5/Pack, 20/Case

• Corning® BioCoat™ products are an ideal solution for enhanced cell attachment and growth of a variety of primary cells and transformed cells in serum-free or serum-containing cultures. Corning offers custom coating capabilities.
• Laminin (LM), a major component of basement membranes, is a multifunctional glycoprotein that is used as a substrate to culture and maintain differentiated function of a wide variety of cells. Laminin has been shown in culture to stimulate neurite outgrowth, promote cell attachment, chemotaxis, cell differentiation, and neuronal survival.

Applications include:  

• Promotion of cell attachment and spreading
• Induction of cell differentiation and neurite outgrowth
• Increases proliferation of myoblasts
• Studies of effects of laminin on cell behavior
• Cell adhesion assays

Source  

• Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse tumor

• Tested for ability to initiate differentiation (neurite outgrowth) of NG-108 rat glioma/mouse neuroblastoma cells
• Tested and found negative for bacteria and fungi
• Laminin purity >90% by SDS-PAGE (contains entactin)
