Product news
Sarstedt TC Inserts are easy-to-use sterile inserts available in three sizes and compatible with our 6, 12 and 24 Well tissue culture plates. In combination with these TC plates, the inserts form a 2-compartment tissue culture system enabling users to carry out a multitude of experiments:
- The 2-compartment system provides a cell environment that is very similar to the in vivo situation.
- Both sides of the membrane are TC treated for optimal cell adhesion.
- Thanks to the suspended design cells can be cultivated undamaged in the well and the TC Insert.
- Due to the asymmetric position of the TC Inserts, the medium in the well of the tissue culture plate can be easily changed.
- The inserts feature an ultra-thin, microporous membrane available in five different pore sizes in a range of 0.4 to 8 µm.
- Our range comprises membranes with two different optical properties – translucent or transparent.
- The chemical properties of the PET membrane minimise nonspecific molecule binding.
- The PET membrane shows a high chemical resistance, easily enabling a multitude of standard methods of cell fixation and staining.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
