Biosilon a new microcarrier.
A new microcarrier Biosilon has been developed on the basis of experience with polystyrene as substratum for cell cultures. Biosilon consists of polystyrene beads, which have a diameter of 160-300 micrometers, a density of 1.05 g/cm3 and carry a negative surface charge. Methods used in testing medical plastic and biomaterials can be used as quality standards for microcarriers.
