MODIFIED MICROCARRIERS AND THEIR USE IN CELL CRYOCONSERVATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for immobilizing biological material, especially cells and unions of cells on microcarriers, characterized in that the volume of the microcarriers to be coated is irreversibly reduced by modifying the osmotic conditions surrounding the microcarriers and the pretreated microcarriers are subsequently coated with the biological material in the usual manner. According to the invention, a substantially improved adherence of the biological material on the microcarriers is achieved.
