Format: 24-well plate

Form: 12 Tests

Detection Method: Fluorometric

Assay Time: 3-5 h

Sample Type: Adherent cells

Kit Contents: 12 Sterile Cell Culture Inserts, Sterile 24-well Plate, Black Plate Strips, Cell Detachment Buffer, Fluorescent Dye, Latrunculin A (inhibitor), and a user protocol.

Comments: A convenient assay for chemotaxis cell migration in 24-well plates. Cells migrate through a 8 mm pore to a feeder layer containing serum or other attractant. Migrated cells are quantitated using a cell-permeable fluorescent dye.
