Label-Free Cell Migration
Wound healing assays are used in a range of disciplines to study cell migration, the coordinated movement of a cell population. A manual or standardized wound is generated on a monolayer of cells grown in microplates. The microplates can be screened against a library to study the effect on cell migration. The effect of a library of compounds or genes can be studied using this approach. The CloneSelect Imager enables the rapid imaging (<90 s per plate) and objective, automated analysis of cell migration.
