Corning has introduced the FloWell 2W plate, a multiple-well plate designed with continuous fluid perfusion technology for the controlled, directional feeding of cells for up to 72 hours. This latest innovation is an ideal automatic cell-feeding device for culturing cells that require frequent medium changes and weekend feedings.
The FloWell 2W plate is a six-well plate consisting of two sets of three-well units, each connected by porous channels that provide continuous fluid flow controlled by hydrostatic pressure. The middle well in each set of connected wells serves as the cell culture chamber, and the first and third wells serve as the medium supply and waste wells, respectively.
The continuous flow from the medium well to the cell culture well eliminates the need for manual medium changes for up to 72 hours. Concurrently, exhausted medium flows out of the cell culture wells, which promotes cell viability and robust growth.
The FloWell 2W plate can also be used in co-culturing studies to investigate cell-to-cell communications of spatially separated cell lines.
