In-Vitro Scratch Assay: A Convenient Method for Analysis of Cell Migration
2 Aug 2017The "scratch" assay is one of the most widely used as it's a simple, well established and inexpensive method to measure cell migration in-vitro. This assay involves creating a scratch in a cell monolayer and monitoring the rate at which cells move to fill the vacant space. The InCellis® allows the easy documentation of scratch assay results on the bench without compromising the cell culture or the experiment.

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.

This technique provides in-depth insight into fast and complex biological processes, by allowing dynamic imaging of living cells instead of acquiring an individual image at a single point in time.
