AMSBIO has announced the addition of the Oris^TM Pro Cell Migration Assay to its range of 96-well cell exclusion zone assays for performing cell migration and cell invasion experiments.

The new assay kit, that complements the popular Oris Cell Migration Assay, now enables researchers to save time and cost by using automated liquid handling equipment for fast set-up of high-throughput assays.  Researchers can now capture and quantify real-time cell migration data using microscopes, High Content Screening (HCS) and High Content Imaging (HCI) instruments.  Typical results are highly reproducible, excellent well-to-well CV's and robust Z factors make the new kit highly suitable for productive compound screening.

The Oris Pro Assay uses a Biocompatible Gel (BCG) to form a cell-free zone on culture surfaces.  After seeding cells into the 96-well plate, the BCG dissolves permitting cells to migrate into the well centres.
