Radius™ Cell Migration Assays provide a convenient and user-friendly method to measure two-dimensional cell migration

Unlike traditional Boyden Chamber assays, each Radius plate can accept cells of any type and size without the worry of choosing a pore sized matched to your specific cell. Kits are available in 24-well, 96-well, and 384-well formats. For cells that need an ECM protein for stronger cell adhesion, we offer pre-coated 24-well plates with Collagen I, Fibronectin or Laminin. We also provide an ECM Array kit which contains a 24-well plate with one row of each aforementioned protein plus one row uncoated.

When cells are seeded in the well of the Radius plate, they will adhere everywhere except in the center of the well where we have placed a biocompatible hydrogel spot. Once cells form a monolayer, the assay is initiated by gently dissolving the gel with a removal solution, leaving a gap across which cell migration can occur.
