Functional cell culture labware: Combining innovative surface coating technology and new in-line production processes

MAXCOAT is a two-year research and development project, which focuses on the development of innovative surface coating technologies for labware. The project is funded by the European EUREKA’s Eurostars Programme.

Today most coated labware is prepared manually by researchers. Consequently, there is a high demand for novel high standard cell culture labware with additional functionalities. The project consortium aims to develop the next generation of innovative labware with a highly sophisticated coating that provide cells a “natural”, reproducible and sterile environment. One of the key challenges will be to manufacture these products on fully automated production lines.
