Lena Biosciences - Model GradientEZ - Qualitative Cell Migration and Invasion Assay
GradientEZ is a qualitative cell migration and invasion assay that enables cells to migrate in three dimensions as they do in living tissues. It is straightforward to use and works like a piece of paper. Simply, pipet cells in the center and add test agents to petals or lobes to model gradient-dependent pathological conditions in 3D. Alternatively, add invasive cancer cells to the center and normal cells to lobes. Fluorescently labeled cells or cell populations added to the center or lobes may be imaged and analyzed in real time during or after cell migration studies using fluorescence microscopy. Suitable for both adherent and suspension cells.
