Transwell insert chambers with an 8 μm pore size

Manufactured by Corning
Sourced in United States

Transwell insert chambers with an 8 μm pore size are a type of cell culture insert that allows for the study of cell migration and invasion. The insert chamber has a porous membrane with an 8 μm pore size, which enables the passage of cells through the membrane.

Cell migration and invasion were evaluated using Transwell insert chambers with an 8 μm pore size (Corning, Maine, USA) coated with or without Matrigel (BD Biosciences, Bedford, MA), and 5 × 104 cells were seeded in the serum-free medium in the upper chamber. The lower chamber was filled with 600 μL DMEM with 10% FBS. After 48 h, the cells that had traversed the membrane were fixed, stained in Alexa Fluor 488® phalloidin solution for 30 min, and counted [31 (link)].

Transwell Invasion Assay with Matrigel

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The transwell invasion assay was performed as previously described 13, with modifications. Transwell insert chambers with an 8 μm pore size (Corning) were used to examine the cell invasion ability. Before 1 × 105 cells were seeded in the serum‐free medium in the upper chamber, the transwell filter inserts were coated with Matrigel. After the cells were incubated at 37°C for 24 h, the cells in the upper chamber were removed with a cotton swab. However, the cells that had traversed the membrane were fixed, stained, and counted.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
