Product Details
Permeable cell culture inserts mimic in vivo conditions and are designed to center in wells, preventing the membrane from touching the sides and wicking between the insert and the side wall. The membrane remains suspended above the well bottom, allowing for co-culture, where one cell line can 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 by moving the insert to a new plate. The inserts feature 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. The carrier plate is tissue culture treated to encourage cell adhesion. Non-treated plates are sold separately.
