Well-insert
New level of cell-test platform with one-touch decomposable structure!
Innovative approach to permeable membrane support!
ARTIPORE Well-INSERT
WellINSERT is an innovative 3D cell-test platform consisting of DISK (a disk-shaped and freestanding membrane) of various materials and DiskCLAMP (a decomposable DISK clamping support). This product can replace the conventional permeable membrane support with allowing assebling and disassebling parts (DISK and DiskCLAMP) over multiple times.
Features of Well-INSERT
Innovative design that overcomes the limitations of conventional permeable membrane support
Decomposable structure with various membrane products (DISKs)
Improved convenience of cell observation and analysis
Allowed for frequent change in configuration of DISK and DiskCLAMP during cell culture
Applicable to standard culture containers (24 well plates)
Available for various types of cell culture and co-culture
Freestanding DISK with enhanced mechanical rigidity with the help of the 3D printing frame
Excellent quality consistency with uniform thickness and fiber diameter control
Various types of DISKs
- FiberDISK (based on naofibers)
- CollagenDISK-Vitrified (based on vitrified collagen)
- Flat-PoreDISK (based on dry-etched porous PC/PET membrane)
- Customized DISK (special order only)
Applications
Cell migration & invasion
Cell test for chemotaxis or various types of cell responses
Co-culture tests of multiple types of cells
Porous support for cells or cell-laden hydrogel (in 3D cell culture)
Cell culture/tests using various normal/disease/stem cells
In-vitro experiments for tissue engineering and cell therapy
