Residue-Free 3D Printed Cell Culture Inserts
These inserts are useful for seeding cells within custom and defined residue-free surface areas, which maximize cell seeding area and facilitate longer incubation times, promoting maximal cell attachment and cell spreading.
Highlights
- Allow accurate and reproducible cell seeding within custom-defined substrate areas in a wide array of cell culture uses
- Deter solution evaporation which facilitates longer incubation times and promotes cell attachment and spreading
- Emulate the normal physiological setting of the cells at experiment onset
- Ideal for parallel plate flow chamber experiments where cell perfusion area is limited to the manufacturer’s defined gasket area

Comments
Suggested Protocol
- Place 3D insert on flat surface.
- Seed cells at desired confluence using 500 µL of cell suspension and allow to adhere overnight.
- Carefully remove insert with forceps.
- Wash excess cells and residual conditioned media using a buffered saline solution.
- Add desired volume of growth media.
