Product Details
Permeable cell culture inserts are designed to simulate in vivo conditions, with the inserts properly centered in wells to prevent the membrane from contacting the sides and wicking between the insert and the well's walls. This configuration allows the membrane to remain suspended above the well bottom, facilitating co-culture experiments where one cell line can grow inside the insert while another grows in the well below. These inserts are ideal for various applications, including 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 offer a 0.4 µm pore size, which is particularly suitable for co-culture and drug transport studies, while the 3.0 µm and 8.0 µm pore sizes are tailored for angiogenesis and chemotaxis experiments. Non-treated plates are sold separately, and the carrier plate is tissue culture treated to promote cell adhesion.
