Tissue culture plate inserts are extensively used in a variety of cell tests, including co-culture tests, chemotaxis tests, and cell migration tests. With the membrane technology, cells that grow in vitro are more similar to those growing in vivo in terms of morphology and function. They are also used for studying cell functions such as cellular transport, absorption and secretion.
* Polycarbonate(PC)/Polyethylene terephthalate(PET), Main Body: Polystyrene (PS)
* Conforming to USP Class VI standards
* Excellent transmittance of the PET membrane, facilitating observation by microscope; Compared to the PET membrane, cell adhesion is stronger on the PC membrane and its higher pore density enables easier exchange of transmembrane substances
* 3 configurations of cell culture plate inserts and a variety of membrane ore sizes are available to meet a variety of different experimental requirements
* Innovative nested edge design facilitates sample addition
* Special central suspension design protects monolayer cells while preventing cell culture medium loss
* Exellent chemical compatibility of the membrane makes it compatible with most staining and fixed reagents
* Sterilized by irradiation, SAL 10-6
* DNase/RNase-free, non-pyrogenic and non-cytotoxic
Chemical Compatibility
The PC membrane and PET membrane are suitable for histological fixatives such as methanol and formaldehyde, and also tolerate alcohol, amines, lipids, ethers, ketones and petroleum solvents (such as halogenated hydrocarbon and DMSO). In particular, the PET membrane has very good chemical applicability. However, strong acid ic and alkaline solutions are not recommended.
Bore Density
The PET membrane and PC membrane have a rated pore density. In comparison, the PET membrane has a lower bore density than the
PC membrane but is superior in terms of its optical performance.
The central suspension design of our tissue culture plate inserts leaves a certain distance between the nest and the bottom, so that the
monolayer cells will not be destroyed when the nest is moved away, and culture medium loss via capillary action between the nested
wall and pore wall can be prevented.
