cell culture insert!
cellZscope TEER measurment systems are compatible with a variety of standard cell culture inserts from different manufacturers.
Three versions of the electrodes are available. They are tailored for use with small (“24-well” type), mid-sized (“12-well” type), or large (“6-well” type) inserts, respectively. Different well sizes can be combined within one Cell Module.
The following table displays a selection of cell culture inserts compatible1 with the cellZscope. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
