Life sciences encompass a diverse range of scientific disciplines focused on the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment. From basic life sciences (such as cell biology, genetics, immunology, and microbiology) to applied life sciences (such as disease research, multi-omics, and biotechnology), this broad field explores the fundamental processes of life and drives advancements in disease research, patient care, and our overall understanding of living organisms. Discover the endless possibilities of life sciences and their impact on shaping a healthier and more sustainable world.
The CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay Kit is ideal for evaluation of invasive tumor cells. Each CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay Kit contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 12 samples. The CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay Kit is intended for research use only; not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
The CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay is performed in an Invasion Chamber, based on the Boyden chamber principle. Each kit contains 24 inserts; each insert contains an 8 μm pore size polycarbonate membrane coated with a thin layer of polymerized collagen. The collagen layer occludes the membrane pores, blocking non-invasive cells from migrating through. Invasive cells, on the other hand, migrate through the polymerized collagen lay…
The CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay is performed in an Invasion Chamber, based on the Boyden chamber principle. Each kit contains 24 inserts; each insert contains an 8 mm pore size polycarbonate membrane coated with a thin layer of polymerized avian collagen. The collagen layer occludes the membrane pores, blocking non-invasive cells from migrating through. Invasive cells, on the other hand, migrate through the polymerized collag…
The Chemicon® QCM™ 24-well Invasion Assay does not require cell labeling, scraping, washing or counting. The 24-well insert and homogenous fluorescence detection format allows for large-scale screening and quantitative comparison of multiple samples. The CHEMICON® Cell Invasion Assay is performed in an Invasion Chamber, based on the Boyden chamber principle. Each kit contains 24 inserts; each insert contains an 8 μm pore size…
The CHEMICON QCM™ 96-well Invasion Assay does not require cell labeling, scraping, washing or counting. The 96-well insert and homogenous fluorescence detection format allows for large-scale screening and quantitative comparison of multiple samples. The CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay Kit is ideal for evaluation of invasive tumor cells. Each CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay Kit contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 96 sa…
The CHEMICON Cell Invasion Assay is performed in a 96-well invasion plate based on the Boyden chamber principle. This plate contains 96 inserts; each insert contains an 8 μm pore size polycarbonate membrane coated with a thin layer of polymerized collagen. The collagen layer occludes the membrane pores, blocking non-invasive cells from migrating through. Invasive cells, on the other hand, migrate through the polymerized collag…
CHEMICON®'s Cell Transformation Detection Assay is an anchorage-independent growth assay in soft agar, which is considered the most stringent assay for detecting malignant transformation of cells. For this assay, cells (pre-treated with carcinogens or carcinogen inhibitors) are cultured with appropriate controls in soft agar medium for 21-28 days. Following this incubation period, formed colonies can either be analyzed morphol…
The CHEMICON QCM™ Haptotaxis Cell Migration Assay - Fibronectin, Colorimetric is ideal for the study of epithelial and fibroblast cell haptotaxis. The quantitative nature of this assay is especially useful for large scale screening of pharmacologic agents. BSA-coated control chambers provide an appropriate migration control. The 8 μm pore size of this assay's Boyden chambers is not appropriate for the study of lymphocyte migra…
The CHEMICON QCM™ Haptotaxis Cell Migration Assay - Collagen 1, Colorimetric is ideal for the study of epithelial and fibroblast cell haptotaxis. The quantitative nature of this assay is especially useful for large scale screening of pharmacologic agents. BSA-coated control chambers provide an appropriate migration control. The 8 μm pore size of this assay's Boyden chambers is not appropriate for the study of lymphocyte migrat…
The CHEMICON In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay Kit provides a convenient system for evaluation of tube formation by endothelial cells in a convenient 96-well format. When cultured on ECMatrix™, a solid gel of basement proteins prepared from the Engelbreth Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse tumor, these endothelial cells rapidly align and form hollow tube-like structures. Tube formation is a multi-step process involving cell adhesion, migration,…
