Transwell chambers 0.4 μm pore polycarbonate filters

Manufactured by Corning
Sourced in United States

Transwell chambers are laboratory equipment used for cell culture experiments. They consist of a polycarbonate membrane with 0.4 μm pores, which separates the upper and lower chambers. This configuration allows for the study of cell migration, permeability, and other cellular interactions across a semi-permeable barrier.

Permeability Assay for HUVECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVECs were cultured in Transwell chambers (0.4 μm pore polycarbonate filters; Costar, Cambridge, Miss.). After reaching confluence, the medium was replaced with the previously-collected conditioned medium (0.3 ml in the upper chamber and 1 ml in the lower chamber). Horseradish peroxidase molecules (type VI-A, 44 kDa; Sigma-Aldrich) at a concentration of 0.126 μM were then added to the upper compartment. After incubating for 1 hr, the medium in the lower compartment was assayed for enzymatic activity using a photometric guaiacol substrate assay (Sigma-Aldrich).

HRP Permeability Assay in HUVECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVECs were cultured in Transwell chambers (0.4 μm pore polycarbonate filters; Costar, Cambridge, MA, USA). After reaching confluence, the medium was replaced with the CM (0.3 mL in the upper chamber and 1 mL in the lower chamber). Horseradish peroxidase molecule (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was added to the upper compartment at a concentration of 0.2 µM. After incubation for 1 h, the medium in the lower compartment was assayed for enzymatic activity while using a photometric guaiacol substrate assay (Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
