Abstract
A cell culture insert including a body having a grip extending sideways from the body, and a locking ring adapted to be fitted around the body. The grip is able to retract elastically inwards so that the body can be inserted inside a cell culture vessel with its grip in friction contact against interior sidewalls of a cavity of the cell culture vessel. The cell culture insert is kept in place by the friction contact and its height position can be adjusted inside the cavity.
