The well insert can be positioned at three different levels in the insert holder: high, medium and low. This feature allows cultures to be raised to the air liquid interface by moving the insert to a different level within the same holder.
Positioning the well inserts at different levels may also be used to conserve expensive media or allow for increasing media volumes for demanding cell types over the course of a long term experiment.
Alvetex is a highly porous polystyrene scaffold designed for 3D cell culture Cells grown in Alvetex possess a natural tissue-like structure that enables them to function in a more physiologically relevant manner. Alvetex 3D cell culture enables cells maintain their in vivo morphology, behavior and responsiveness within an in vitro model system.
Alvetex is a unique cellular environment Manufactured to the highest standards of consistency each disc is engineered to a thickness of just 200 -40 D cell culture, cells come into contact with the flat surface of the culture vessel (e.g. Petri dish, flask or multi-well plate). In this unnatural environment cells become flattened against the substrate. In this abnormally thin structure there has been significant re-modelling of the internal cellular components. The entire cytoskeleton is remodeled and organelles such as the nucleus are flattened.
Alvetex has been designed for simple and routine use It uses conventional cell culture plasticware. Therefore any cell biologist can get into Alvetex 3D cell culture.
