Description

Permeable supports, also known as cell culture inserts, are an essential tool for the study of both anchorage-dependent and independent cell lines.

You can use cell culture inserts to:

• Produce a cell culture environment that closely resembles an in vivo state
• Allow polarized cells to carry out metabolic activities in a more natural manner because the cells feed both apically and basolaterally
• Co-culture cells with or without cell-to-cell contact
• Design a diversity of experiments using various pore sizes, membrane types, and coatings 10 µm thick translucent membrane
• Pore sizes ranging from 0.4 µm to 8 µm diameters
• Treated for optimal cell attachment
• Supplied in multiple well plates
• Membrane must be stained for cell visibility
• Sterile
