The Bio-Byblos Vivoalign are polystyrene, which is substrate of nanogroove using nanotechnology. The nanogroove topography can facilitate cell alignment growth in vitro. It can be applied to cardiac and skeletal muscle research, neural differentiation, cell migration, cell motility research, drug testing, etc. Besides, the reference display the nanogroove substrate can promote mesenchymal stem cell different to neural cell without chemical induction (see the Bio-Byblos site for further information).

The main advantages of VivoAlign are the following:

• Nanogroove topography to facilitate cell alignment in vitro.
• Alignment of cells can be observed as early as 24 hours post seeding.
• Shortens differentiation time for stem cell research.
• No additional coating required.
• Designed to fit in 24-well plates (10mm x 10mm), making high-throughput analysis possible.
• Can be easily removed from well plate for staining and observation under confocal microscope.
• Ideal for cardiac and skeletal muscle research, neural differentiation, cell migration, cell motility research, drug testing, etc.
