The Radius Cell Migration Assay provides a unique alternative to conventional cell migration assays using the Boyden chamber. Unlike Boyden chamber assays which may only be analyzed at endpoint, the Radius assay uses a proprietary cell culture plate containing a carefully-defined biocompatible hydrogel (Radius gel) spot centralized at the bottom of each well. When cells are seeded in the well, they will attach everywhere except on the Radius gel, creating a cell-free zone. Following cell seeding the Radius gel is removed, allowing migratory cells to move across the area and close the gap.

• Storage and shipping:
  • Shipping temperature: Room Temp
  • Storage temperature: Upon receipt, aliquot and store the Radius Gel Removal Solution and DAPI Fluorescence Stain at -20ºC (avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles), and transfer the Fixation Solution to 4ºC. All other kit components should be stored at room temperature until the kit?s expiration date.
