Product news

AMSBIO has announced the addition of the Oris™ Pro Cell Migration Assay to its range of 96-well cell exclusion zone assays for performing cell migration and cell invasion experiments. The new assay kit, that complements the popular Oris Cell Migration Assay, now enables researchers to save time and cost by using automated liquid handling equipment for fast set-up of high-throughput assays.

Researchers can now capture and quantify real-time cell migration data using microscopes, High Content Screening (HCS) and High Content Imaging (HCI) instruments. Typical results are highly reproducible, excellent well-to-well CV's and robust Z factors make the new kit highly suitable for productive compound screening.

The Oris Pro Assay uses a Biocompatible Gel (BCG) to form a cell-free zone on culture surfaces. After seeding cells into the 96-well plate, the BCG dissolves permitting cells to migrate into the well centres.

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.
