Product Description
Model barrier tissue, migration and co-culture systems more realistically by feeding cells from both sides of a porous membrane. Each insert hangs inside a well, giving polarized cells access to medium from the apical and basolateral surfaces.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 723301: Cell Culture Inserts, 8.0 µm PC Membrane, Translucent, TC-Treated, 6 Inserts with 6 Well Plate, Sterile, Case of 24 (4 Plates x 6 Inserts). Inserts carry polycarbonate (PC) or polyester (PET) membranes in pore sizes from 0.4 to 8.0 µm and come nested in a matching 6, 12 or 24 well plate. Most kits use TC-treated, plasma etched plates, with non-treated options also listed. Every plate is sterile and individually packaged in a peelable blister. LIGHT LABS carries the full NEST Scientific catalog with knowledgeable support when you need it.
Key Features
- Ready-to-Use Kit – inserts arrive nested in a matching multiwell plate
- PC or PET Membranes – choose by optical needs and application
- Pore Sizes from 0.4 to 8.0 µm – from transport studies to cell migration and invasion
- Apical and Basolateral Access – supports polarized cell function closer to in vivo conditions
- Three Plate Formats – 6, 12 and 24 well options
- Individually Packaged – each plate sealed in a peelable blister, sterile
