Reliable growth surfaces assure consistent cell performance
All tissue-culture treatments render polystyrene hydrophilic and result in the incorporation of a variety of anionic functional groups that support cell culture. To ensure reproducible results and conditions, all BD Falcon™ tissue-culture treatment is performed in a vacuum chamber.

BD Falcon Primaria™ tissue-culture treatment additionally incorporates nitrogen-containing functional groups that have been shown to improve attachment and spreading of some cell types.

BD Falcon nontreated plates have a more hydrophobic surface and show reduced cell attachment.

Cell tests ensure consistent results
A sensitive clonogenic assay^{[ 1 ]} using MRC-5 cells, a diploid human fibroblast line, is used to validate the manufacturing process for each BD Falcon TC product. Routine testing of standard TC products is performed by testing growth to confluency at 72 hours with MRC-5 or WI-38 cells, a diploid human lung fibroblast cell line. The surface chemistry of each lot of BD Primaria products is confirmed by ESCA.
