Does PromoCell recommend a particular manufacturer or brand of tissue‑culture plastic for growing primary cells?
PromoCell does not generally recommend a specific manufacturer or brand of tissue culture plastic for the cultivation of its primary human cells.
What we know from experience
Our customers have successfully used tissue‑culture flasks and dishes from all major, well‑established cell culture plastic suppliers to grow PromoCell primary cells. We do not have sufficient data to assess whether plasticware from local or lesser‑known suppliers performs equivalently.
Our recommendation
If you plan to use tissue culture plastic from a supplier other than the established manufacturers, we recommend:

Our recommendation
If you plan to use tissue culture plastic from a supplier other than the established manufacturers, we recommend:
- Testing the plasticware first, and
- Confirming that it provides comparable cell attachment, growth, and morphology before using it in critical experiments.
