Description

PC (polycabonate) Permeable Cell Culture Inserts with 0.4 um pore size for 24 well plates.

Permeable cell culture inserts mimic in vivo cell growth conditions, in vitro. They are helpful experimentally when examining drug transfer, cell transport, cell migration and cell:cell interactions, for example.
Per ThermoFisher Scientific:
  • PC permeable cell culture inserts provide for excellent cell attachment and growth.
  • PET permeable cell culture inserts are most ideal for culturing cells to be fluorescently imaged (i.e. provide for better image quality).
  • Both PC and PET permeable cell culture inserts are good for barrier assays (which measure cell transport).

Inserts are suspended (hanging); they are centered and not touching the sides of the well; they sit just above the bottom of the well, allowing for growth of a cell monolayer.

Insert is made of polycarbonate (PC), plate is made of polystyrene.

Inserts come pre-inserted into tissue culture treated 24 well plates, which are individually-packed. Untreated 24 Well Cell Culture Plates may also be purchased separately for your experimentation involving permeable cell culture inserts.

Sterile, DNase and RNase free and non-pyorgenic.

12 inserts/plate, 2 plates/case, (24) 0.4 um PC permeable cell culture inserts/case.
