Cell and tissue culture technologies play an increasingly important role in both basic and applied life sciences, with new culture vessels and surface treatments continuously developed to better simulate the in vivo environment for specialized cell lines. Using permeable supports with microporous membranes has become a standard method for culturing such cells, as these supports enable polar cells to secrete and absorb molecules from both basal and apical surfaces, promoting more natural metabolism and maximizing the simulation of in vivo conditions. NEST permeable supports are E-beam sterilized to SAL 10⁻⁶, vacuum plasma tissue culture-treated, non-pyrogenic and DNase/RNase free, and are available with a rich selection of matching plates including 6-, 12-, and 24-well formats. Made from high-clarity, 100% virgin polystyrene, they pass USP VI toxicity tests, feature clear lot numbers for batch traceability, innovative edge designs for convenient sample loading, low protein binding for accurate results, and compatibility with most solvents used for fixing and staining.
