1. Select a Membrane
PC (Polycarbonate)
PET (Polyester)
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Translucent membrane suitable for
a range of applications; high pore
density allows maximum diffusion
Transparent membrane suitable
for visualization of cell outlines by
phase contrast microscopy
Collagen-coated PTFE membrane
which promotes cell attachment
and allows cells to be visualized

Smaller pore sizes (0.4 and 1.0 µm)
are used for culturing cells, co-culture
applications and drug transport
studies
Larger pore sizes (3.0 to 8.0 µm) are
recommended for chemotaxis and
angiogenesis applications
