Do cells adhere to the surface of the Sterlitech track etch membranes?
A. Depending on the cell line, most exfoliated human cells adhere with some tenacity. Most epithelial cells will adhere if the membrane has a negative charge applied by gas plasma or has a suitable attractant applied to the surface of the membrane. Endothelial cells will generally not attach to the surface of Track Etch membranes.
