The Corning Primaria surface features a unique mixture of oxygen-containing (negatively charged) and nitrogen-containing (positively charged) functional groups on the polystyrene surface. The surface supports the growth of cells that can exhibit poor attachment or limited differentiation potential when cultured on traditional TC surfaces, including neuronal, primary, endothelial, and tumor cells. The surface consistency of each lot is confirmed by electron spectroscopy chemical analysis (ESCA).
