| Application: | The Corning® Costar® Transwell® cell culture inserts are well-suited for cell staining applications and various chemotaxis assays, including fibroblast migration studies, tumor invasion and metastasis, trans-migrational studies, and invasion inhibition research. The inserts have been used in: • Transwell assay to study the role of TGF-β-MTA1-SMAD7-SMAD3-SO • MTT Assay to study GAS5-mediated signaling in osteosarcoma cells • tri-cultured neuroinflammation model |
| Features and Benefits: | • 10 μm thick transparent polyester membrane • Treated for optimal cell attachment • Sterilized by gamma radiation Lids included TC-treated surface 0.33 cm2 cell growth area • Can be coated with a diverse range of extracellular matrices (ECM) and basement membrane extracts (BME) • Optical clarity enables clear visualization of cell outlines when observed under phase contrast microscopy • Offers compatibility with histochemical stains and fluorochromes for various cell staining applications |
| General description: | The Transwell® cell culture inserts feature a distinctive self-centered and hanging design that effectively prevents the unwanted wicking of medium between the insert and outer well. This in turn ensures the uninterrupted and intact co-culturing of cells in the lower compartment, allowing for undisturbed cell growth and maintenance. |
