Description
Millicell® cell culture inserts are designed to maximize biological relevance and user convenience in cell culture applications. In vivo, cells live in a three-dimensional environment and can access nutrients from all directions. In contrast, traditional plastic culture plates force cells to grow on a smooth, two-dimensional surface, leading to flattened nuclei and poor function. Millicell® permeable inserts and plates feature a design that allows access to both the basolateral and apical surfaces of cell layers. This promotes natural, multidimensional growth and provides more relevant in vitro models, leading to more biologically relevant results for applications including toxicity screening, primary and secondary screening, cell signaling, cell proliferation, transport assays, and ADME/Tox drug safety studies.
