General description
With Millicell® inserts, attachment or suspension cells can access media from both their apical and basolateral sides. Cell growth, structure, and function more closely mimic what occurs in vivo. In addition, Millicell® inserts make it possible to study both sides of the cell monolayer.
Millicell® Standing Inserts:
- Promotes excellent cell growth and provides an exceptional opportunity for cell studies
Membrane Type:
Isopore Membrane (polycarbonate)
- For growth of attachment-dependent cells without matrix
Applications
Cell Attachment, Cell Growth, Cell Differentiation , Immunocytochemistry

What is the height of the "feet" of the PIHP01250 Millicell Cell Culture Inserts? Meaning, how much clearance is there between the bottom of the well and the bottom of the membrane?
1 answer -
Regarding the PIHP01250 & PTHT12H48 membrane insert products: what is the thickness of the membrane? Is the bottom totally flat, i.e. if I placed it down on a flat surface, would the entire area of the membrane be in direct contact with the surface?
1 answer-
The thickness of the polycarbonate and PET membranes range from 7-20 um. The standing inserts (PIHP01250) have small "feet" that contact the bottom of the wells. The hanging inserts (PTHT12H48) are suspended by 'wings' that rest on the sides of the wells. Please see the image below:

What is the thickness of the membrane in these inserts? We need this information to evaluate if it's possible to image through the membrane with a confocal microscope.
1 answer-
The thickness specification for the PIHP01250 Millicell Cell Culture Insert, which is made of polycarbonate and has a pore size of 0.4 µm, ranges between 9-11 microns.
