Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts supplied with well plates?
No, cellQART® products include only the inserts. We do offer well plates sold separately:
- 6-Well Glass Bottom Plates (SKU P06G-1.5-20-F)
- 12-Well Glass Bottom Plates (SKU P12G-1.5-14-F)
- 24-Well Glass Bottom Plates (SKU P24G-1.5-13-F)
Q: Is there a bibliography for cellQART®?
Yes, there is. You can view the bibliography for cellQART® here.
Q: Are cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts compatible with standard well plates?
Yes, cellQART® inserts are designed to be compatible with standard 6-well, 12-well and 24-well plates. Their patented hanging design ensures optimal well placement while still allowing good pipetting access.
Q: Are the cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts supplied sterile?
Yes, the inserts are individually wrapped and sterilized by gamma irradiation.
Q: What type of membrane is used for the cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts?
All cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts are made with microporous polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) track-etch membrane. The polyester track-etch membrane is heat welded to the inserts.
Q: How are the cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts packed?
The cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts are supplied as packs containing 48 inserts. The inserts are individually wrapped and sterilized by gamma irradiation.
Q: Are the cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts membranes tissue-culture treated?
Yes, all cellQART® membranes are tissue-culture treated to promote good cell attachment.
Q: Do you provide custom cell culture inserts?
Yes, we have the capability to consider projects for developing customized cell culture inserts. Please contact your Sterlitech Sales Representative for further assistance.
Q: Can I perform Transepithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) measurements on tissue cultures grown in cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts?
Yes, TEER measurements can be made. However, it is very important that the electrode in the apical compartment never touches the cellQART® insert membrane. Accidentally touching the membrane with the electrode can easily puncture the membrane or separate the membrane from the cellQART® insert.
