Product news

The CellPlayer Cell Migration 96-well assay offers a more precise and reproducible label-free method for monitoring the key biological processes involved in cell migration. This kinetic assay features automated data collection over a period of hours or days and generates data sets that are optimal for studying pharmacological agents and gene silencing technologies for this important function.

The CellPlayer Cell Migration 96-well assay is run on the Essen IncuCyte, a compact automated microscope that resides inside a standard tissue culture incubator. The IncuCyte software automates the data collection process and provides the subsequent analysis for the cell migration assay which means your cells remain in the controlled environment for the duration of the experiment.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.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.
