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:

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 are the dimensions of the cellQART® Cell Culture Inserts?

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.
