Cell Attachment Reagent (FNC Coating Mix, BRFF AF-10) is formulated to dramatically increase the attachment of cells to the plastic growth substratum used for culturing mammalian cell lines. Many fastidious cell types such as human prostate and breast epithelial cells plated in the appropriate serum-free medium will attach and grow more effectively on FNC-coated plastic surfaces.
Cell Attachment Reagent can increase the survival rate of cell lines from 5% to 95% during the cell growth transfer process. Lab researchers typically use small flasks or glass plates to grow cell lines, then transfer them two times to larger surfaces as the cells proliferate. Traditionally only 5% of the cell lines survive each time they are transferred. The Cell Attachment Reagent coats the flasks and plates with a polymer that helps the cells attach faster, averting the high rate of cell death. Most cell types such as human prostate, breast and epithelial (skin) cells will attach and grow well on FNC-coated surfaces.
