Hydrogel Floating
(Standard TC Plate)
Superior Hydrogel Adherence
(VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plate)
Hydrogel Floating occurs after adding medium to wells with hydrogel which can affect testing, imaging, and repeatability.
VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plates promote hydrogel attachment to address floating issues which results to even imaging and ensure consistency.
Prevent Hydrogel Floating
Comparison of Hydrogel Adherence – VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach v. Others
We investigated the effectiveness of VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach and three other cell culture plates in mitigating the hydrogel floating issue using VitroGel® ORGANOID-3 hydrogel (Catalog # VHM04-3).
The method involves combining hydrogel and basal medium in a 2:1 ratio, followed by adding 300 µL of VitroGel® ORGANOID-3 hydrogel mixture to each well of the 24-well plates. The hydrogel is incubated for 20 minutes, after which 300 µL of cover medium is added on top. The plates are then incubated at 37°C to assess the ability of VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plate to prevent hydrogel floating.
Figure 2. Comparison of hydrogel adherence on four different quality 24-well plates in 48 hours.
A. VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach 24-Well plate exhibits perfect hydrogel adherence in all 24 wells. B. Premium Plate #1 showcases hydrogel adherence in 23 out of 24 wells. C. Standard Plate #2 exhibits hydrogel adherence in 22 out of 24 wells. D. Standard Plate #1 demonstrates hydrogel adherence in 21 out of 24 wells.
Ineffective Gel Spreading
(Standard TC Plate)
Homogeneous
Hydrogel Spreading
(VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plate)
Ineffective gel spreading causes inconsistent cell distribution which inhibits high-throughputs applications and reduces reproducibility of cell-based assays.
With VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plates, achieve consistent surface coating and prevent edge effects for high reproducibility.
Eliminate Edge Effect
Effective hydrogel surface coating with VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plate
Figure 1. An overhead view captures the hydrogel mixture distribution across three distinct tissue culture-treated plates (Regular TC, Premium TC, VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach).
The hydrogels did not distribute homogeneously throughout the surface in the regular and premium tissue culture-treated plates. In contrast, VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plate ensures even hydrogel spreading.
Uneven Hydrogel Surface
(Standard TC Plate)
Uniform Hydrogel Surface
(VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plate)
An uneven hydrogel surface can cause cell distribution on different z-levels on top of the hydrogel, which results in inconsistent data generation and difficulty in imaging.
Ensure even cell attachment through the surface with VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach Plates and obtain consistent data.
More Even Hydrogel Surface
Evaluating Gel Spreading and Cell Attachment
VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach 12-Well Plate v. Standard 12-Well Plate
We compared two 25-stitched z-planes capturing OP9 cells in the VitroGel® Hydrogel Matrix within 12-well plates— VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach 12-Well Plate and a standard 12-well plate. The images were compiled by selecting the z-plane with the 2D projection on each plate and stitched to evaluate cell attachment and the flatness of the hydrogel surface. Notably, VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach 12-Well Plate demonstrated superior performance, ensuring flat hydrogel surface for even gel spreading and cell attachment.

A. VitroPrime™ Spread-Attach 12-Well Plate shows a flat hydrogel surface, presenting homogeneous cell spreading and attachments on the same plane. B. The standard 12-well plate shows an uneven hydrogel surface by showing attached cells in different focus planes.
