The Good
Quick, affordable Screening method, not many cells needed,, can also be used in transfected conditions. No need to scratch with a pipet.
The Bad
The first couple of times, it was difficult to remove the inserts; because of cell detachment upon cell culture insert removal excessive washing is sometimes necessary. Not suitable for wound closure assays, because the needed "cell damage" achieved by scratching is not generated.
The Bottom Line
Really good product for quick screening of migrational cell behavior, in my opinion not suitable for wound closure investigations. It is affordable and if routinely established, a reliable method.
