Millicell® Cell Culture Inserts
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. Millicell inserts are available for 24-, 12-, or 6-well plates.

Great brain cultures!
Organotypic brain cultures
I've used the inserts for organotypic brain cultures from different rat brain regions in 6-well plates. The quality of the insert is very high, like the quality and viability of the cultures. The only disadvantage is the price, in fact for numerous experiments thy could be expensive.

Millicell inserts are available for 24-, 12-, or 6-well plates. The inserts are easily prepared for SEM and TEM visualizing techniques, and they are compatible with cellular and/or fluorescent stains.
More like life: Microporous membrane-based culture systems
The value of cell culture experiments lies in how well they represent the native microenvironments of in vivo systems. In this application note, Millipore Sigma explores the advantages of using microporous membranes, compared to 2D plastic surfaces, to provide more in vivo-like cell growth environments for cell culture experiments.
More like life: Microporous membrane-based culture systems
Membrane-based culture systems foster a more in vivo-like cell growth environment and support a range of applications including primary and secondary screening, transport assays, toxicity screening, cell signaling, cell proliferation and ADME/toxicity drug studies. In this application note, Millipore details the features of the Millicell® cell culture product family and reveals how membrane-based cultureware can closely recapitulate in vivo conditions.
