BioWrite™ micropatterned substrates
Swiss-3T3 cells on a 5 µm grid of fibronectin (green). Vinculin is red. Actin is blue.
Intelligent Substrates introduces the BioWrite line of protein micropatterned substrates for cell and tissue culture. These substrates provide a new level of experimental control over cell structure and function.
Define the location, size, and shape of cultured cells using patterns of extracellular matrix proteins to control such vital cell functions as adherence, metabolism, mechanics, growth, DNA replication, and protein synthesis.
Intelligent Substrates offers a collection of substrates with stock patterns and a custom patterning service. BioWrite line and grid patterns of fibronectin are now available on glass coverslips. For other patterns, proteins, or substrates, please visit the Substrate Design Center.
