Abstract
A cell culture article comprises virgin polystyrene disposed over at least a portion of a surface of an article main body. The article main body may be formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) such as reground or recycled polyethylene terephthalate. Methods of making such a cell culture article include applying a composition to a surface of an article main body, where the composition comprises virgin polystyrene having a thickness of 1 to 500 microns and the article main body is formed from glass, ceramic, metal or polymer.
Claims12
A cell culture article comprising:
- a main body;
- a virgin polystyrene coating disposed over at least a portion of a surface of the main body and formed in situ on the main body from a polystyrene-containing solution deposited on the main body;
- and
- an adhesion-promoting material layer disposed between the main body and the polystyrene coating,
- wherein the main body is formed from glass, ceramic, metal or polymer and the polystyrene coating has a thickness of 2 to 50 microns, and
- wherein the polystyrene coating has a density of 1.02 g/cm3 to 1.05 g/cm3.
A cell culture article comprising:
- a dish, flask, tube, bottle or plate having a main body;
- and
- a virgin polystyrene coating disposed over at least a portion of a surface of the main body and formed in situ on the main body from a polystyrene-containing solution deposited on the main body;
- and
- an adhesion-promoting material layer disposed between the main body and the polystyrene coating,
- wherein the main body consists essentially of reground or recycled polyethylene terephthalate and the polystyrene has a thickness of 2 to 50 microns.
