Transwell cell culture inserts are convenient, easy-to-use permeable support devices for the study of both anchorage-dependent and anchorage-independent cell lines. They are designed to produce a cell culture environment that closely resembles the in vivo state. They allow polarized cells to feed basolaterally and thereby carry out metabolic activities in a more natural fashion. The unique patented self-centered hanging design prevents medium wicking between the insert and outer well. Inserts permits access to the lower compartment through windows in the insert wall. Suspended design allows for undamaged co-culturing of cells in the lower compartment.
