A Metabolic activity measured by resazurin-resafurin turn over is used for rela-


tive quantification of cell numbers after 2 and 3 days post seeding. HepG2 cells
were incubated in presence of 50 µM resazurin for 3 hours prior to fluorescence
measurement (Ex 506 nm/Em 635 nm) in a plate reader (GeminiEM Molecular
Devices). HepG2 cells cultivated on BRANDplates® cellGrade™ plus show higher
fluorescence signals indicating higher cell numbers after 2 and 3 days in vitro (DIV)
when compared to non-treated microplates (PS). Resafurin fluorescence measured
in cell-free wells was used for background correction. Data represent mean and
standard deviation of 8 measurements.

Conclusion
BRANDplates® with cellGrade™ plus surface perfectly support attachment
and proliferation of HepG2 cells.
