Low attachment 6 well plates

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in Germany, United States

Low-attachment 6-well plates are a type of laboratory equipment designed to promote the formation of 3D cell cultures. They feature a non-adherent surface that encourages cells to aggregate and form spheroids or organoids, which can be useful for various cell-based assays and research applications.

5 protocols using low attachment 6 well plates

1

Fetal Cardiac Tissue Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fetal hearts were purchased as surgical waste from Advanced Bioscience Resources (Alameda, CA), and delivered on ice within 2.5 hours of surgery. Left ventricles were sectioned from the apex towards the atria into 7mm long x 2mm wide strips, washed 3 times in Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (Gibco), transferred to low attachment 6-well plates (Nunc) containing RPMI+B27 media, and placed into the incubator for 1 hour before taking measurements. FCT strips were analyzed in a similar manner to the cardiac tissues for contractile behavior, force generation, gene expression, cardiac proteins, ultrastructure and histomorphology, as detailed below. In addition, RNA isolated from 32 pooled fetal hearts, ages 2137 weeks, was obtained from Clontech (Mountain View, CA) for gene expression studies.

3D Mammosphere Culture Protocol

Mammospheres were cultured in low-attachment (also referred to as 3D culture) in DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with B-27, penicillin-streptomycin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) at 37 °C in humidified 5% CO2. Mammospheres were created by plating TU-BCx-2 K1 PDX cells (50,000 cells) in low suspension DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with fibroblast and epidermal growth factors (20 ng/mL each; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) in low-attachment 6-well plates (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham MA). Growth factors were added to the spheres every 3 days. Sphere growth was observed with brightfield microscopy and representative images were captured every 3 days.

Mammospheres were cultured in low suspension media composed of DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with B-27, penicillin-streptomycin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Mammospheres were created by plating TU-BCx-2K1 PDX cells (50,000) in low suspension DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with FGF and EGF (20 ng/mL each) in low-attachment 6-well plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham MA). Mammospheres were treated with GSI PF-03084014, AKT inhibitor (MK-2206) or IKK inhibitor, Bay11-70820 (Selleckchem, Texas) as described earlier.

Mammospheres were cultured by plating explants in 3D culture composed of DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with B-27, penicillin- streptomycin, fibroblast-growth factor and epidermal-growth factor (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Explants were plated in low-attachment 6-well plates (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham MA, USA) and primary spheres grew for up to 10 days before harvesting and quantified. Sphere area was quantified in the Aperio program.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
