FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is Millicell 24 tissue culture treated on both sides of the membrane? | Yes, they are tissue culture treated on both sides of the membrane. This allows for attachment- dependent cell culture on both sides of the membrane. |
| Are either the single well feeder tray or the 24 well receiver plates tissue culture treated? | No, they are not. If it is desired to culture adherent cells in either feeder or receiver trays, the trays must first be treated with the cell type appropriate coating (i.e. collagen). |
| What membranes are offered for Millicell 24? | Millicell 24 is offered with either a 0.4 µm polycarbonate (PC) or a 1.0 µm polyester (PET) membrane. |
| What is the advantage of using Millicell 24 for cell culture applications? | Millicell 24 is an automation compatible platform that offers many design advantages for cell culture applications. The active surface area for growing cells is over twice as large as other 24 well plates. Features including the apical assist, filter plate feet, and basolateral access holes contribute to manual ease of use. |
| What cell types can be grown using Millicell 24? | Millicell 24 is an optimal platform for growing any adherent cell line used for permeability/transport, cell differentiation, fluorescence, toxicology, or co-culturing studies. |
| Can live cells grown on Millicell 24 be viewed by microscope? | Live cells on the top of the membrane can be viewed through the media using an inverted microscope looking through the underside of the Millicell 24 with the 1.0 µm PET membrane. Live cells can also be viewed from above the filter plate with the lid on using microscope objectives with a working distance of at least 18mm. |
| Do I need an ECM for growing epithelial cells on Millicell 24? | An ECM is not necessary for many adherent cell types (i.e. epithelial cells) on Millicell 24. Tissue culture treatment of the PC and PET membranes allows for good cell attachment and growth. Specific cell types that require ECM treatment for growth or differentiation on plastic, however, may also require it for growth on filters. |
| Are there optimal growth conditions for epithelial cells grown on Millicell 24? | We recommend feeding every other day (Mon, Wed, and Fri.) exchanging apical and basolateral media in a specific order. The preferred order is to aspirate basolaterally first, then apically, and add fresh medium back apically first, then basolaterally. Plates should be incubated at 37 degrees Celsius with 5-6% CO2 and 95% relative humidity. |
| What volume of media is recommended using Millicell 24? | It is recommended to use 400 µls in the apical well and 32 mls in the single well feeder tray. When using the 24 well receiver tray we recommend using 800 µls in each tray well. The capacity volumes for both the apical well and the 24 well receiver tray (with filter well in place) is 1100 µls. |
| How do you determine optimal seeding densities of epithelial cells using Millicell 24? | This requires optimization for each laboratory due to the variability in cultures. If converting from a 0.3 cm2 surface area platform, we recommend doubling your seeding density to start and, if necessary, further optimize using a range of densities. |
