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 feature a 10 μm thin transparent polycarbonate membrane available in a variety of pore sizes. Transwell are treated for optimal cell attachment. Cells must be stained for cell visibility. The PC membrane is compatible with most organic fixatives and stains.

Application

Transwell was used during Boyden chamber assay to separate cells from upper and lower compartments.
