The new HTS Transwell
®-96 permeable supports have an array of 96 wells with permeable inserts connected by a rigid, robotics-friendly tray that enables all 96 inserts to be handled as a single unit.
Excellent for cell migration, drug transport and other assays:
- Choice of 1.0 µm or 8.0 µm pore size polyester (PET) membranes or 0.4 µm, 3.0 µm and 5.0 µm pore size polycarbonate (PC) membranes
- 0.143 cm2 membrane area per well; provides 20 to 50% more surface area for cell growth compared with other commercially available products
- Large apical and basolateral access ports allow efficient media sampling and facilitate automated or manual access
- Optimized for automation, with multichannel feeder ports, improved gripping surface, and standard bar codes
- Customized products available to meet special needs
HTS Transwell®-96 Systems for drug transport and permeability applications:
The HTS Transwell®-96 Systems are packaged as a complete set with both reservoir and receiver plates, eliminating the need to purchase parts separately (Figure 1). They come with:
- 96 well permeable support insert with choice of either 0.4 µm pore size PC or 1.0 µm pore size PET membranes
- Untreated Reservoir plate (single well feeder plate) – with removable media stabilizer
- Untreated 96 well Receiver plate – for assay use
- Lids (2) – minimize evaporation and protect against contamination

HTS Transwell®-96 Accessories
HTS Transwell®-96 Receiver Plates have 96 individually isolated wells that are tissue culture treated for cell attachment. They are available in either clear (Cat. No. 3382) or in black (Cat. No. 3583) polystyrene (Figure 3).
- Tissue culture treated Receiver plates can be used for co-culture studies or other applications requiring cell attachment.
- When used with HTS Transwell®-96 permeable inserts, the Receiver plate allows convenient pipette access to both apical and basolateral sides of each well (manual or automated).
- Black Receiver plates (Cat. No. 3583) are treated for cell attachment for use in fluorescent applications.
HTS Transwell®-96 Reservoir Plates (Cat. No. 3383) have an open reservoir for cell growth and feeding stage and are not treated for cell attachment (Figure 4).
- When used with an HTS Transwell®-96 insert, the tray allows for convenient multi-channel pipette access (manual or automated) along the A1- A8 side.
- Removable media stabilizer minimizes sloshing when moving and filling plates
- Design minimizes contamination when changing media and prevents cross contamination when medium is switched during cell growth step
