UniWell™ Filter 0.6µm 50 Sheets for Horizontal Cell Co-Culture

UniWells™ Horizontal Co-Culture 0.6µm Filter Membrane

The UniWells™ Horizontal Co-Culture system is a cell culture plate system designed for simultaneous co-culture of cell populations and allows for effective investigation of processes such as transport, migration, and invasion.

The system works by culturing 2 different cell populations, 1 in each dish, providing 2 cell populations. By using this UniWells™ Horizontal Co-Culture 0.6µm Filter Membrane, cell migration and invasion is prevented, isolating and allowing for better investigation of more distant cell messaging methods such as exosomes.

The layout and horizontal nature of Uniwell horizontal co-culture system improves greatly on previous co-culture methods carried out using a smaller growth well lowered vertically into a larger growth well:

•Complete isolation is possible, allowing for cell populations to be co-cultured in different, isolated environments

•Both wells are equal in size and surface area, providing the same growth area for cultures, eliminating the effect of differing well sizes seen in previous methods.

•Horizontal layout allows easy, simultaneous, direct observation of cell populations at all times.

•Clogging of filters by cells, a common issue with previous methods, prevented by the new horizontal layout. Previously gravity would pull cells from the upper well into the filter membrane and limit experimental effectiveness.

Overall the Uniwell horizontal co-culture 0.6µm filter membrane, when used in conjunction with the Uniwell™ horizontal co-culture plate, provides excellent isolation of different cell populations, allowing you to better investigate factors such as differing growth conditions on cell-messaging processes.
