Cultrex 96-Well Cell Migration Assay was created in an effort to accelerate the screening process for compounds that influence chemotaxis, which is a fundamental cellular function, important in processes such as angiogenesis, embryonic development, immune response, and wound healing. This assay offers a flexible, reproducible, high-throughput format for quantitating the degree to which cells migrate in vitro in response to chemoattractants and/or inhibiting compounds. The plate is easy to use, prevents contamination, and is adaptable for robotic high-throughput systems. The assay chamber may be directly analyzed in a 96 well plate reader, eliminating transfer steps. This kit includes sufficient reagents to assess cell migration in 96 wells, as well as to calculate multiple standard curves.
