UniWells™ Horizontal Co-Culture Plate

01324_img01.png

UniWells™ Horizontal Co-Culture Plate is an ideal co-culture device that connects two wells laterally.
The horizontal connection provides easy viewing of cells in both wells simultaneously using various types of microscopes.
It is a versatile tool for studying cell-cell interactions such as transport, migration, and invasion.

Features

  • Simultaneous observation using a time-lapse microscope
  • No more filter clogging
  • Cells are cultured under the same condition (used same material on the bottom)
  • Filters of any membrane types and pore sizes are usable
  • Both wells are independent (connect in a free combination)

Excellent points

Both cells can be cultured under the same medium volume

  • Conventional co-culture plate
    Medium volume in A is more than in B and cell secreted factors A are diluted in B.
  • UniWells™
    Medium volume are the same between A and B

 

Filter is prevented from being clogged by cells

  • Conventional co-culture plate
    The filter is clogged by cells cultured in the upper well, which leads to interfering with the migration of cell secreted factors between the upper and lower wells.
  • UniWells™

    The filter is NOT clogged by cells.

Example of use – Uptake of exosomes -

UniWells™ Horizontal Co-Culture Plate enables the observation that exosomes derived from cell B permeate the filter and are uptaken by cell A.

Comparison of permeability testing of exosome between conventional co-culture plate and UniWells™

  1. Cells were seeded to be the same cell numbers into the upper well in conventional co-culture plate and one side well in Uniwells™.
  2. Co-culture started after 24 hours from cell seeding.
  3. Exosome densities of the cell side and medium side were analyzed.

Instructions for use

  • Connected use

    Wells are connected by fitting a filter, O-ring and cover.

    ※The filters are sold separately.

    01324_img04.png

    Connection methods are as below;

    A)Connect the wells cultured independently by aspirating the culture solution once.
    B)Connect first and increase the volume of the culture solution to achieve co-culture

    01324_img05.png
  • Single use

    Fit a common cover and cover to a well.

    Use in a microscope

    Set wells to the adapter provided.

    ※The adapter is attached to the main unit.

Medium volume

A medium volume of less than 400 μL is not shared between the wells.

The maximum medium volume on each well is 1.8 mL.
Appropriate volume is 1.5 mL.
