4 well silicone insert with 4 defined cell-free gaps, suitable for wound healing, migration assays, 2D invasion assays, and co-cultivation of cells
- Complete solution for wound healing experiments, requiring only a few steps from sample preparation to image analysis
- Reproducible experiments owing to: four defined 500 µm cell free gaps and one 1000 µm center gap, no leakage during cultivation, and no material being left behind after the insert’s removal
- Suitable for 4 experiments, including a center gap that allows to observe the migration of all cell types
- 25 pieces in a transport dish
- Used for self-insertion into 6 or 12 well plates, or other formats
Not to be used without transferring the Culture-Inserts
Applications
- Wound healing assays
- Migration assays
- 2D invasion assays
- Co-cultivation of cells
Technical Features
- Culture-Insert 4 Well in a transport petri dish for self-insertion
- Biocompatible silicone material with adhesive underside
- Transferable to any flat and clean surface
- Has to be placed in an appropriate cell culture vessel before use, such as the µ-Slide 2 Well, 6 well plates, or 12 well plates
- Clean surface after insert removal without remaining material
