Star-Plus microcarriers are fabricated from a cross-linked, modified polystyrene core. They feature a covalently modified, positively charged surface that promotes rapid cell attachment and enhanced growth of various adherent cell types across multiple media formulations. Star-Plus microcarriers support animal component-free (ACF), protein-free, and chemically defined cell culture applications.
- Positively charged surface promotes rapid cell attachment and growth.
Compatible with animal component-free (ACF) workflows. - Suitable for fast-growing Vero cells and primary cells, including fibroblasts and stem cells.
- Maintains high cell viability and critical quality attributes.
The microcarriers are supplied in a pre-sterilized Microcarrier Delivery System (MDS) bag for direct, aseptic connection to the bioreactor. Please contact microcarriers@sartorius.com for customized MDS configurations of up to 8,000 g.
