Ultra lowattachment 24 wells plates

Manufactured by Corning

The Corning Ultra LowAttachment 24-wells plates are designed for cell culture applications that require minimizing cell attachment to the plate surface. These plates feature a specialized hydrophilic, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic coating that prevents cell adhesion, promoting the formation of spheroids, embryoid bodies, and other 3D cell culture models.

Generation of Gliomaspheres from Primary Astrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary newborn astroglial cells were isolated and maintained as
previously described78 . For
gliomasphere preparation, astroglial cells were plated at 20-30% confluence in
6-well plates in 2 ml astrocyte medium (DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS,
glutamine and antibiotics). The next day cells were transduced with lentiviral
vectors coding for oncogenes, or with empty vector as negative controls. After
24 hours (day 3), transduced astrocytes were switched to NSC medium (DMEM/F12
supplemented with 100X N2, 20 ng/ml mEGF, 20 ng/ml mbFGF, glutamine, and
antibiotics). Spheres arising from the cell monolayer were evident after
approximately 3 weeks. Sphere passaging was performed as described
previously74 (link).
To evaluate self-renewal properties (Extended Data Fig. 7d and 9b),
gliomaspheres were dissociated to single cells and replated in Ultra Low
Attachment 24-wells plates (Corning), at the concentration of 2,000 cells per
well; fully gliomaspheres were counted by visual inspection.

Estrogen Signaling Pathway Activation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were transfected with 1μg mixture of an inducible ERE-responsive firefly luciferase construct (kindly provided by Dr. De Bortoli, University of Torino) and a constitutively expressing Renilla luciferase construct (40:1) (Cignal Reporter Assay, Qiagen) using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were seeded into ultra-low attachment 24 wells plates (Corning) at a density of 100,000 cells per well. After 48 hours from transfection, cells were treated for 6 hours with either vehicle or 10 nM 17-β-Estradiol (E2758, Sigma) and the reporter activity was measured by luminescence. Values were normalized to Renilla luciferase activity; data are presented as relative luciferase values.

Single-cell suspensions of ovarian cancer cells (4 × 102 cells/mL) were plated on ultra-low attachment 24 wells plates (Corning, America) and cultured in phenol red-free DMEM/F12 (Gibco, America) containing B27 supplement (Gibico, America, #12587010) and 20 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (EGF, Solarbio, China, #P00033), 20 ng/mL basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, Solarbio, China, #P00032), and 5 μg/mL insulin (Solarbio, China, #I8040). Tumorsphere were visualized under a phase-contrast microscope (Olympus, America, IX53 + DP80).

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.
