What Are Corning Transwell Inserts? The Lab's Multi-Tool

In research, assays are fundamental to scientific inquiry, and permeable supports are crucial for their success. However, the quality and design of permeable inserts used in these assays can vary significantly. While conventional cell culture plates often incorporate single-layer permeable inserts, Corning® Transwell® inserts offer a multi-well format that establishes a two-chamber system. This unique design enables the exposure of cell cultures from both the apical and basal sides, providing enhanced versatility for a wider range of experimental designs.

The distinct features of Transwell inserts unlock expanded research possibilities and capabilities. Discover a closer look at what distinguishes these systems.
