Hillex II microcarriers feature modified polystyrene cores with a cationic amine surface modification that promotes rapid cell attachment. Their non-protein-coated surface makes them suitable for protein-free and chemically defined cell culture applications. With a narrow size distribution and a slightly denser core, Hillex II microcarriers promote faster sedimentation and efficient cell harvesting.
The microcarrier beads are supplied pre-sterilized in a bottle and are ready to use.
