Is there a suitable way to confine cell attachment area inside a multi-well plate?

Are there any types of cylindrical cell culture inserts that are designed to confine cell seeding area? Say, if I'm using a 12 well plate (3.5 cm^2/well), but only want to seed cells in the middle...

Nikolay Pavlov

Is it always steel or some metal at least?

Garrett Riedesel

Nikolay Pavlov The wires will be shielded if that is what you are meaning.

Garrett Riedesel You mean electric or magnetic filed cannot be used - correct?

Nikolay Pavlov We can not use those fields were thinking something along the lines of an LED emitter and receiver that covers an area.

Perhaps you can use shadow sensor. This way, it is not difficult to sense even 50 um diameter droplets. You just AC couple low noise amplifier to illuminated photodiode.
