Cell and Tissue Culture

Why has PET rather than PC been chosen as the membrane material of ThinCert™ cell culture inserts?
- PET is well established as a substrate for cell cultures.
- PET is highly resistant against most organic solvents. When detached from the insert housing, the PET membrane does not curl. Due to high solvent resistance and anti-curling effects the membrane of ThinCertTM cell culture inserts is very well suited for subsequent processing, such as immunohistochemistry. >
- PET exhibits a very low protein absorption. ThinCertTM cell culture inserts are therefore an excellent choice for transport and uptake studies.
