µ-Slide Chemotaxis

Investigate chemotaxis of fast or slow migrating adherent cells and non-adherent cells in 2D or 3D gel matrices

• Real-time chemotaxis measurement in real-time in a 2D or 3D environment
• Stable chemotactic gradients for long-term experiments
• Reproducible results with reliable and user-independent data

Applications

• 2D and 3D chemotaxis assays with fast or slow migrating cells
• Live cell imaging using inverted microscopy
• Chemotaxis of neutrophiles, lymphocytes, and monocytes
• 3D chemotaxis of leukocytes or cancer cells in an ECM-like matrix
• Invasion assays of tumor cells in Matrigel™
• Chemotaxis measurements of adherent and non-adherent cells

Technical Features

• Chamber geometry optimized for cells in 2D and 3D matrices
• Defined linear gradient with long-term stability
• Homogeneous cell distribution at the experimental starting point
• 3 chambers on one slide for parallel assays
• Ideal for collagen gels, hydrogels, Matrigel™, or similar aqueous gels
• Ready to use, i.e., no assembly required
• Lettered and numbered chambers and reservoirs
