Product details:
Wound Healing Assay Kit (ab242285) contains 2 x 24-well plates each containing 12 proprietary treated plastic inserts. The inserts create a wound field with a defined gap of 0.9 mm for measuring the migratory and proliferation rates of cells. Migratory cells are able to extend protrusions and ultimately invade and close the wound field.
Cell proliferation and migration rates can be determined using manual fixing and microscopic imaging. A fixing solution is provided for stopping cells at specific time points. Cell stain and DAPI stain are also provided for viewing results with light and fluorescence microscopy.
