More like life: Microporous membrane-based culture systems

28 Apr 2020

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.

Millicell® Cell Culture Inserts

Merck

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.

Millicell® 24 & 96-well Cell Culture Insert Plates

Merck

Millicell® cell culture insert plates are a patented device designed to support cell growth and differentiation of endothelial and epithelial cell lines, including CaCo-2. The Millicell® device is available with a 0.4 µm PCF and a variety of PET membrane pore sizes. The plate is designed for maximum user convenience and incorporates features such as apical assist for easier pipetting and basolateral access.
