Falcon® Cell Culture Inserts, 3.0µm, Corning®

Select the best membrane for your applications - Larger pore-size membranes for investigating chemotaxis, invasion and migration. Transparent membranes for visualization of cells by light microscopy. High pore-density membranes for maximum diffusion when studying transport, secretion or drug uptake.

3.0µm PET, transparent inserts. 8.0 x 10⁵ pores/cm².
Applications: Visualization by light microscopy. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Useful for studying transport of larger molecules (lipoproteins) and viruses. Transendothelial migration. Smooth muscle migration. Barrier function (TEER mesurements).
NOTE: In long-term cultivation, epithelial cells grown in monolayer may traverse a naked membrane and grow on the top and bottom.

3.0µm, HD, High Density, PET, Translucent. Highest Diffusion 2.0 x 10⁶ pores/cm².
Applications: Transport, diffusion and secretion of large molecules or viruses. Migration studies. Barrier function (TEER measurements).
NOTE: In long-term culture, epithelial cells grown in a monolayer may traverse a naked membrane and grow on top and bottom.

• Track-etched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membranes have a smooth surface and defined cylindrical pores that traverse the membrane
• Low-protein binding
• Sterilized by gamma irradiation
• Packed in individual blister packs, 48 inserts/case
• Nontissue-culture treated rings prevent promiscuous growth of cells on the insert walls
• Innovative hanging design facilitates pipetting and allows for co-culture
