CellCrown™96 is a unique and novel cell culture insert for standard 96-well plates. This is the first insert in the market, which allows easy attachment of thicker samples, up to 2 mm in the insert. Also attachment of rigid samples is possible between the holding cup and insert part.
Holding cup can be used alone and it prevents attachment of the sample to the bottom of the well. Insert part can be placed two ways in deeper and higher position. When two holes on the edge of cup and cusps in the inner part are matching the insert is suitable for thin samples. When they are not in the same position, combination is suitable for samples of 2 mm in thickness. Please note that fit of cup and inner part is slightly looser in this position and insert need to be handled with care.
After installation of the samples cups are cut off from their frame and the insert is ready to be used in well plate. It is also possible to use shorter pieces than row of 8 inserts. The round portions between inserts allow clear markings for identification of the samples. During cell culturing it is important to follow the sufficient level of cell culture media in wells. For CellCrown™96 the recommended amount of media in well is 170 - 200 μl, depending on size of the sample.
CellCrown™96 inserts are transparent in color, dark version was used for photographing for clearer images.
