Cellular assay kits allow researchers to investigate many aspects of cell health, including viability, proliferation, cytotoxicity, metabolism, apoptosis, and more. Such assays generally measure specific cellular properties such as the presence of metabolites, changes in cellular components, membrane integrity, and enzyme activity. This diverse product catalog contains assay kits from trusted suppliers; many including ready-to-use reagent sets to enable straightforward and optimized cell-based assays. Filters are provided to help simplify the product search. Flow cytometry is a common cell analysis application, as well as immunofluorescence and microscopy. Choose between fluorescence, colorimetric, or luminescent detection methods depending on the nature of the experiment. Visit the supplier page for more information, such as assay methods, protocols, included reagents, and more.
With a cell invasion assay, a researcher is monitoring the cell movement through extracellular matrices whereas in a cell migration assay, the researcher is is monitoring the cell movement through a porous membrane. Cell invasion assays are particularly useful to understand various areas of research such as embryonic development, immune responses, and angiogenesis. These in vitro assays typically consists of two chambers separated by a filter, with added extracellular matrix components, and the cell migration between the two chambers is observed.
