Application Note
Objective quantification of cell migration on the CloneSelect Imager System
- Rapid scanning to monitor cell migration
- High quality imaging and label-free detection of living cells using white light
Background
Cell migration is a key process in normal development, immune function and wound healing. Abnormal cell migration is a feature of conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. The CloneSelect Imager system reveals the in vitro effects of therapeutic candidates and cell culture matrices on cell migration as well as the study of cell-to-cell interactions. Migration application software in CloneSelect Imager enables measurement of cell migration based on objective cell detection.
Method
Image capture and analysis
High quality data generation
