Applications

Spreading Sequence2 small
Swiss 3T3 cells spreading on 50 µm squares of fibronectin.

BioWrite™ micropatterned substrates can control the size, shape, and location of cells in your experiments. Use BioWrite substrates to find and identify cells faster, simplify quantification and analysis, identify important structural components, average responses across similar cells, and control for variations in cell size and shape in your experiments.

Please read our minireview, Micropatterned Substrates: Highlights from the Recent Literature, to learn how others use micropatterned substrates in their research.

Stem cell growth and differentiation
Investigate stem cell differentiation on BioWrite micropatterns of different proteins, dimensions, shapes, and nearest-neighbor distances.

Cellular migration and dynamics
Examine cell motility and dynamics with live cell imaging as cells interact with custom micropatterned substrates of lines or asymmetric shapes.

Cell morphology

Control cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization using BioWrite micropatterns.
