Product Details
The permeable cell culture inserts are designed to mimic in vivo conditions, featuring a design that centers inserts in wells to prevent the membrane from touching the sides and wicking between the insert and the well 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 drug transfer assays, transport studies, migration assays, and cell-cell interaction studies. Cultures can be transferred to fresh media simply by moving the insert to a new plate. The inserts are available with a 0.4 µm pore size, which is suitable for co-culture and drug transport studies, while 3.0 µm and 8.0 µm pore sizes are ideal for angiogenesis and chemotaxis experiments. The carrier plate included is tissue culture treated to encourage cell adhesion, though non-treated plates are sold separately.
