Falcon™ 24-Multiwell FluoroBlok™ Cell Culture Inserts Systems

Description

• The Corning FluoroBlok Insert System is made with a unique light-tight PET membrane that effectively blocks the transmission of light from 400-700 nm
• Fluorescence from labeled cells or compounds present in the top chamber of the insert system is blocked from detection in the bottom chamber by the intervening dyed membrane
• Once fluorescently labeled cells or compounds pass through the membrane, they are no longer shielded from the light source and are easily detected with a bottom-reading fluorescence plate reader
• The wide blocking range of the Corning FluoroBlok membrane allows the flexibility to choose a variety of fluorophores for chemotaxis, cell migration, tumor cell or bacterial invasion, leukocyte extravasation, cell signaling, toxicity and permeability studies for oral bioavailability and absorption assays (e.g., Caco-2 cells)
• Save time and labor using automated fluorescence detection Eliminate cell insert manipulation—get rapid data collection without the need for plate washing or manual cell scraping and counting
• Chart migration of cells and molecules in realtime without dismantling or destroying the insert Increase sample throughput—automate many commonly used membrane-based cell assays and increase the efficiency, productivity and throughput of these assays in the drug discovery process Handle 24 inserts simultaneously—all 24 wells are part of a single unit that is compatible with Falcon 24 well Plates and Feeder Tray Each insert has a generous, automation-compatible sampling port
• When used with Falcon 24 well plates, users can sample above and below the membrane with standard 200 μL or 1000 μL pipet tips or automated fluid handler tips
• Order Info Available in 3μ and 8μm pore sizes
• One-piece 24-Multiwell insert system (insert plate, 24-well plate or single-well feeder tray, and lid) or 24-well individual cell culture inserts.
