Millicell Culture Plate Filter Inserts are a valuable cell biology tool designed to improve cell attachment, growth and differentiation over traditional plastic cell culture plates. Millipore has developed practical techniques for viewing, counting and analyzing cells grown on Millicell inserts. Millicell Culture Plate Inserts promote a more natural cell growth by allowing media access from both the apical and basolateral sides of the membrane. This allows for cell growth, structure and function to more closely mimic what occurs in vivo.
The following Technical Guide outlines the types of microporous membranes available in the Millicell Inserts and their recommended applications. Additional information is provided regarding various aspects of Millicell Insert use. See Index on page 2. Most of the Millicell membrane types are available in a MultiScreen 96 well plate format for high throughput cell based applications. Procedures optimized in the single Millicell unit may be effectively transferred to a 96 well plate format.
