VitraPOR® Porous Glass Beads - ROBU - #1

Text version of the page

ROBU® has developed a new carrier substrate for cell cultivation from the proven family of VitraPOR® sintered filter products. Pure, binder-free borosilicate glass 3.3 is manufactured by our proprietary process to form 4 mm diameter substrates with a consistent pore size of 40 - 100 mirometers. The proprietary process uses no corrosives and produces a porous structure with smooth, yet large surface areas. The glass is completely bio-compatible and its electrical charge (Zeta-Potential) helps to stimulate cell growth. As a result, you can yield more than 70% viable cells from your cultivation process - far superior to conventional PMMA and PVC carriers.
