Tissue culture polystyrene dishes

In a separate study [88], we synthesized EGF fused to a polystyrene-binding peptide [101] (EGF-PSt) that could be immobilized on the surface of a tissue culture polystyrene dish. This surface also permitted efficient expansion of NSCs. Thus, EGF-PSt can be used to produce large quantities of pure NSCs in standard laboratories.

Biomaterial wettability can influence the bioresponse of cultured cells [41,42]. Therefore, Li et al prepared vitronectin-coated dishes with different surface charges and wettabilities for hESC culture vitronectin (VN)-coated tissue culture polystyrene dishes (VN-TCPS), VN-coated polyethylene terephthalate films (VN-coated PET), VN-coated polystyrene films that were plasma-treated in advance (VN-coated PS-plasma), VN-coated PET films that were coated with poly-L-lysine in advance (VN-coated PET+PLL), and VN-coated PET films that were coated with polyacrylic... 

Several other common industrial polymers are also used in biomedical applications [51]. Because of its low cost and easy processibility, polyethylene is frequently used in the production of catheters. High-density polyethylene is used to produce hip prostheses, where durability of the polymer is critical. Polypropylene, which has a low density and high chemical resistance, is frequently employed in syringe bodies, external prostheses, and other non-implanted medical applications. Polystyrene is used routinely in the production of tissue culture dishes, where dimensional stability and transparency are important. Styrene-butadiene copolymers or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers are used to produce opaque, molded items for perfusion, dialysis, syringe connections, and catheters.
