Product Details
Permeable cell culture inserts are designed to mimic in vivo conditions by ensuring that the inserts center in wells, preventing the membrane from contacting the sides and wicking between the insert and the well's side wall. The membrane remains suspended above the well bottom, facilitating co-culture 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. The cultures can be transferred to fresh media by simply moving the insert to a new plate. The inserts feature a pore size of 0.4 µm, 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. The non-treated plates are sold separately, and the carrier plate is tissue culture treated to enhance cell adhesion.
