Product Details
The permeable cell culture inserts are designed to mimic in vivo conditions, featuring an innovative design that centers the inserts in wells, preventing the membrane from touching the sides and avoiding wicking between the insert and the side wall. The membrane remains suspended above the well bottom, facilitating co-culture experiments by allowing one cell line to grow inside the insert while another grows below in the well. These inserts are ideal for applications such as drug transfer assays, transport studies, migration assays, and cell-cell interaction studies. Cultures can be transferred to fresh media by simply moving the insert to a new plate. The inserts offer a 0.4 µm pore size, which is optimal for co-culture and drug transport studies, while 3.0 µm and 8.0 µm pore sizes are suited for angiogenesis and chemotaxis experiments. Non-treated plates are sold separately; however, the carrier plate is tissue culture treated to encourage cell adhesion.
