• Millicell

Millicell inserts are available for 24-, 12-, or 6-well plates. The inserts are easily prepared for SEM and TEM visualizing techniques, and they are compatible with cellular and/or fluorescent stains.

Insert Formats:
Millicell Hanging Inserts: Preloaded in receivers or available standalone
– For co-culturing and permeability assays 
– Unique design allows easier basolateral access than other hanging inserts with less risk of contamination 
– Available in 5 pore sizes and 3 diameters, including a 1 µm pore size that is optically transparent for better visualization by microscopy 
– NEW: Available preloaded in 24-well receiver plates or as individual inserts in 3 diameters 

Millicell Standing Inserts:
– Promotes excellent cell growth and provides an exceptional opportunity for cell studies 
– Available with Biopore (PTFE) membrane, MF-Millipore (mixed cellulose esters) membrane, and polycarbonate membrane 

Millicell Organotypic Insert:
– For high cell viability and superior study of three dimensional explant structure 
– Lower height allows them to fit inside a standard petri dish 
– The Biopore™ (PTFE) membrane provides high viability—for as long as 40 days—and excellent trans-membrane oxygen transport 
– The membrane is optically clear and optimized for long-term organotypic explant maintenance 

Membrane Types:
Biopore Membrane (hydrophilic PTFE)
– For low protein-binding, live cell viewing, and immunofluorescent applications

MF-Millipore™ Membrane (mixed cellulose esters)
– For exceptional anatomical and functional polarization

Isopore™ Membrane (polycarbonate)
– For growth of attachment-dependent cells without matrix

PET Membrane (polyethylene terephthalate)
– For growth of attachment-dependent cells without matrix

With Millicell® inserts, adherent or suspension cells can access media from both their apical and basolateral sides. Cell growth, structure, and function more closely mimic what occurs in vivo. In addition, Millicell® inserts make it possible to study both sides of the cell monolayer.
