There are provided a resin composition that is suitable for the production of a flame-retardant molded article and that can provide high flame retardancy even with a small amount of flame retardant added, and a flame retardancy determination method for determining the flame retardancy of a resin composition. The resin composition of the present invention contains a thermoplastic resin, a cellulosic material, and a phosphate flame retardant and satisfies relational expressions (1) and (2) (where in expressions (1) and (2), T.sub.P, T.sub.B, and T.sub.CMP are temperatures at weight loss rate peaks in thermogravimetric analysis, T.sub.P is a temperature (° C.) at a weight loss rate peak of the thermoplastic resin, T.sub.B is a temperature (° C.) at a weight loss rate peak of the cellulosic material, and T.sub.CMP is a temperature (° C.) at a weight loss rate peak of the resin composition. When the resin composition has two weight loss rate peaks, T.sub.CMP is a temperature at a peak on a lower temperature side).

Disclosed is a well insert for cell culture, including: a membrane support having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being adapted to engage a well of a microplate so as to suspend the well insert therein; and a permeable membrane for supporting a tissue culture, the permeable membrane being attached at the lower end of the membrane support and sealed thereto, the permeable membrane being of brittle material. The membrane support is overmolded or fastened on to the permeable membrane so as be sealed thereto.
