Radius™ 96-Well Cell Migration Assay

Radius™ 96-Well Cell Migration Assay

• Description: The Radius™ Cell Migration Assay provides a unique alternative to conventional cell migration assays using the Boyden chamber. Unlike Boyden chamber assays which may only be analyzed at endpoint, the Radius™ assay uses a proprietary cell culture plate containing a carefully-defined biocompatible hydrogel (Radius™ gel) spot centralized at the bottom of each well. When cells are seeded in the well, they will attach everywhere except on the Radius™ gel, creating a cell-free zone. Following cell seeding the Radius™ gel is removed, allowing migratory cells to move across the area and close the gap.
• UNSPSC: 41116100
• Detection Method: Light Microscopy
• Features & Benefits: Proprietary biocompatible hydrogel creates a circular area across which cells may migrate following gel removal; Versatile plate format allows use with cells of any size; no need to worry about selecting cell culture inserts with the proper pore size; Allows qualitative, quantitative, endpoint or real-time analysis
• Shipping Conditions: Room Temperature
• Storage Conditions: Upon receipt, aliquot and store the Radius™ Gel Removal Solution and DAPI Fluorescence Stain at -20°C (avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles), and transfer the Fixation Solution to 4°C. All other kit components should be stored at room temperature until the kit’s expiration date.
