Sarstedt TC Inserts are easy-to-use sterile inserts available in three sizes and compatible with our 6, 12 and 24 Well tissue culture plates. In combination with these TC plates, the inserts form a 2-compartment tissue culture system enabling users to carry out a multitude of experiments:
- The 2-compartment system provides a cell environment that is very similar to the in vivo situation.
- Both sides of the membrane are TC treated for optimal cell adhesion.
- Thanks to the suspended design cells can be cultivated undamaged in the well and the TC Insert.
- Due to the asymmetric position of the TC Inserts, the medium in the well of the tissue culture plate can be easily changed.
- The inserts feature an ultra-thin, microporous membrane available in five different pore sizes in a range of 0.4 to 8 µm.
- Our range comprises membranes with two different optical properties – translucent or transparent.
- The chemical properties of the PET membrane minimise nonspecific molecule binding.
- The PET membrane shows a high chemical resistance, easily enabling a multitude of standard methods of cell fixation and staining.
