Cell Migration
MultiScreen-MIC 96-well Plates
MultiScreen-MIC filter plates are recommended for cell-based screening assays, including migration, invasion, chemotaxis, co-culture, angiogenesis, and transmigration. These 96-well plates incorporate polycarbonate membranes in a variety of pore sizes to support a range of cell types.
The plates can be used with suspension or adherent cell lines, and they support cell growth for co-culture and transmigration assays. Results show that the plates demonstrate high assay consistency with little inter-assay variability. The sterile plates are also shown to support longer incubation times and allow for assay set-up and analysis in the same device. For more information please see www.millipore.com/cellbased.
- Use with adherent or suspension cells
- 3, 5, and 8 µm polycarbonate membrane pore sizes available
- Consistent results
