Merck, CLS3464-12EA, Corning®Costar®Transwell®cell culture inserts

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.
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-SOX4-EZH2 signaling axis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
MTT Assay to study GAS5-mediated signaling in osteosarcoma cells
tri-cultured neuroinflammation model
