Cell Migration and Invasion Live-Cell Assays

Overview

Cell migration and invasion, or cell motility, play a role in many normal and pathological processes including immune responses, embryonic development, angiogenesis, regeneration, tumor metastasis, and wound healing. 

Choose from two assays depending on your scientific questions:

  • Scratch Wound: cell density-dependent migration or invasion in the absence of a chemotactic gradient
  • Chemotaxis: migration or invasion in response to a chemotactic gradient

Incucyte® Cell Migration and Invasion Assays

Watch dynamic biological processes of cell migration and invasion happen in real time! Incucyte® live-cell assays can be conducted either label-free or by using dual color fluorescence to study specific cell populations in co-culture.   

Incucyte® Scratch Wound and Chemotaxis Assays allow you to continuously monitor and analyze migration and invasion with or without a chemotactic gradient, right inside your incubator.
