Nunc surface treatments for cell culture
Nunclon Delta surface for adherent cells
Healthy adherent cell growth requires quality treated plastics. Nunclon Delta cultureware features a more hydrophilic polystyrene surface modification, further promoting maximum adhesion for a broad range of cell types.

Nunclon Delta testing certifications
Plastics with Nunclon Delta surfaces endure rigorous cloning efficiency tests using cell lines chosen for their high toxin sensitivity. Every lot is tested and certified for cell growth and plating efficiency using L-929, HEL 299, V79-4, and primary chick embryo cells. In all but one cell line, this growth is assessed by the cultureware surface coverage percentage.
For V79-4 lines, cell growth is evaluated by the number of colonies formed per cultureware. For Nunclon Delta lot certification, cultureware must demonstrate:
- Consistent cell growth over entire culture surface
- <10% difference from the Nunclon Delta-qualified standards for L-929, HEL 299, and primary chick embryo cell growth
- <15% difference from the Nunclon Delta-qualified standards for V79-4 colony formation

Nunc poly-D-lysine or collagen I for primary/finicky cells
Collagen I, ordinarily found in the extracellular matrix (ECM), is rat-tail-tendon sourced, whereas poly-d-lysine (PDL) is fully a synthetic alternative. These ECM-coated surfaces mimic the body’s growth environment, making them ideal for finicky cells that have difficulties growing on regular tissue culture surfaces.

Nunc Lab-Tek II CC2 surface for fastidious cell attachment
The Lab-Tek II CC2 surface treatments mimics poly-D-lysine and aids in fastidious cell attachment. For cells such as neurons, these chamber slides provide positively charged growth surfaces with enhanced stability.
Nunc UpCell surface for enzyme-free cell dissociation
Nunc UpCell surfaces enable the harvesting of cells in single-cell suspension or as contiguous cell sheets via temperature reduction, eliminating the need for enzymatic cell dissociates such as trypsin. In addition, this surface can enable the creation of 3D tissue models without foreign-to-the-body scaffolding materials.

Nunclon Sphera cultureware for 3D cell culture
This 3D-cell-culture-optimized surface nearly eliminates cultureware cell attachment, enabling 3D spheroid and organoid cell-to-cell aggregation through naturally secreted extracellular matrices (ECM). This Thermo Scientific Nunclon Sphera culture system is designed for spheroid culture (e.g., 3D tumor spheroids) and organoid culture (e.g., brain organoids) and is available in a wide selection of formats, including plates, dishes, and flasks.
