General description

With Millicell inserts, attachment or suspension cells can access media from both their apical and basolateral sides. Cell growth, structure, and function more closely mimic what occurs in vivo. In addition, Millicell inserts make it possible to study both sides of the cell monolayer.

Application

  • Cell Attachment, 3D Cell Culture, Cell Growth, Cell Differentiation , Immunocytochemistry
  • Biopore Membrane (hydrophilic PTFE) is ideal for low protein-binding, live cell viewing, and immunofluorescent applications

Features and Benefits

  • For high cell viability and superior study of three dimensional explant structure
  • Lower height allows them to fit inside a standard petri dish
  • The Biopore (PTFE) membrane provides high viability—for as long as 40 days—and excellent trans-membrane oxygen transport
  • The membrane is optically clear and optimized for long-term organotypic explant maintenance
