Which Membrane to use? General rules:
Small pore sizes (0.4 and 1 μm in diameter) for co-cultivation as well as for transportation, secretion, and
diffusion studies, larger pore sizes (3 and 8 μm in diameter) for migration and invasion studies, transparent membranes (in general low pore density) suitable for light and electron microscopy; not suited for all applications requiring high diffusion rates such as transport studies, translucent membranes (in general high pore density) suitable for electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, TEER and transport studies
