Microcarriers, Corning®

Corning® Microcarriers are designed to simplify bioprocessing scale up. The microcarriers are sterile, ready to use, and available in closed systems packaging to be used directly with bioreactors. Additionally, the microcarriers are surface treated to enhance cell attachment, maximising cell yield and viability.

• USP Class VI polystyrene material provides a consistent platform
• Available with a choice of surface treatments
• Sterile (SAL 10⁻⁶)
• Certified non pyrogenic
• Available as closed system solutions

Corning® Microcarriers are available with a choice of surface treatments. Corning Synthemax® II substrate creates a synthetic surface on the microcarriers for stem cell expansion. It is recommended to use Low Concentration for MSC applications and High Concentration for iPS/ES applications. Corning CellBIND® surface treatment infuses the surface of the microcarriers with oxygen to improve cell attachment. Corning® Microcarriers with a positive charge surface treatment or collagen coating are also available.
