QCM Chemotaxis Cell Migration Assay, 24-well (3 µm), fluorimetric

"The successful, reliable culture of epithelial cells is critical for many areas of research, including dermatology, respiratory research, and cancer research. Because the breakdown of control mechanisms in epithelial cells is a frequent contributor to cancer progression and metastasis, epithelial cell culture is particularly important for cancer research. EpiGRO™ media formulations are optimized to provide better viability, proliferation rates, morphology and culture stability than other commercially available options. The media are provided in unique, light-blocking, temperature-monitored packaging to ensure stability and protect the media from damage by light, contamination, and excessive heat. The media do not require or contain any antimicrobials or phenol red. These components can cause cell stress and influence experimental results by masking the true performance or health of the cell culture. Phenol red acts like an estrogen and may stimulate growth independently of experimental variables. "

"Recognizing both the tremendous opportunities and the challenges facing cancer research, we are dedicated to developing and refining tools and technologies for the study of cancer. With our comprehensive portfolio, including the Upstate®, Chemicon®, and Calbiochem® brands of reagents and antibodies, researchers can count on dependable, high quality solutions for analyzing all the hallmarks of cancer."
