RTCA CIM plate continuously monitor cell invasion and migration

Features

Label-free assay requires no fixation, staining or any other sample processing, dramatically reducing hands-on time
Easy quantification of the kinetics of migration or invasion
Rapid optimization of cell density and extracellular matrix density conditions
Non-invasive nature of the assay allows for cells on either side of the microporous membrane to be analyzed by complementary techniques

Technology

Cellular Impedance Explained

The functional unit of a cellular impedance assay is a set of gold microelectrodes fused to the bottom surface of a microtiter plate well. When submersed in an electrically conductive solution (such as buffer or standard tissue culture medium), the application of an electric potential across these electrodes causes electrons to exit the negative terminal, pass through bulk solution, and then deposit onto the positive terminal to complete the circuit.
