OAAS

OAAS^TM is culture plate for measuring the resorption ability of osteoclasts.
OAAS^TM is a culture plate based on OCT.'s platform technology "Calcium Phosphate Nano Crystal Coating Technology" which is used to measure the activity of the osteoclast in bone research. Due to its bottoms of the wells, coated with low crystalline of carbonated calcium phosphate, OAAS^TM resembles human bone and will be a perfect substitute for dentin slice. Commercialized kit OAAS has up to 48 wells.

However, OCT conducts research activities using as much as 280 wells internally. OCT is currently looking for global distribution opportunities through Invitrogen Corporation.
Advantages of OAAS^TM are as follows:

1. more reliable data are produced with OAAS^TM because bottoms of its wells are coated with calcium phosphate which acts as a substrate for the osteoclast. It is more comparable to human bone than other products coated with synthetic hydroxyapatite;
   
   
2. It is possible to observe the differentiation while culturing the osteoclast precursor cells (Culture period: 2-3 days for matured osteoclast, 7-12 days for precursor cell). Due to its clear calcium carbonate coated wells, the resorption area can be observed under light microscope without SEM or even with bare eyes.
