Munich, Germany – The ibidi µ-Dish ^{35 mm, high} Bioinert provides a completely new solution for all scientists who want to combine long-term culture and high-resolution microscopy of living spheroids or suspension cells in one single dish.

The Bioinert surface is a thin polyol hydrogel layer that is covalently bound to the ibidi Polymer Coverslip of the µ-Dish ^{35 mm, high}. In contrast to standard ultra-low attachment (ULA) coatings, Bioinert is completely non-adherent and does not allow binding of any biomolecules or cells, even in long-term experiments. With this technology, Bioinert provides a stable passivation in cell-based assays for several days or even weeks. The flat, thin bottom material and the excellent optical properties of the ibidi Polymer Coverslip enable high-resolution microscopy without any disruptive autofluorescence.

The ready-to-use µ-Dish ^{35 mm, high} Bioinert combines highest optical quality with 100% surface passivation. These features make this innovative product especially interesting for scientists who are investigating the cell-cell interactions of suspension cells, spheroids, and embryoid bodies.
