Live Cell Analysis of Transwell Migration
Image and Quantify Transwell Invasion and Migration Assays using Suspension and Adherent Cells
- Image transwell invasion of adherent cells without dissociation of cells from the transwell insert
- Directly count the number of invading/migrating cells
- Fluorescently label and image invading cells
Perform and Quantify Transwell Invasion Assay by Direct Cell Count
Suspension cells located inside the insert migrate through the porous membrane toward the chemoattractant from the bottom plate. Celigo is used to automatically count migrated cells in the bottom plate.

High-resolution bright field images of the transwell membrane
Thumb-nail pictures and cell numbers are automatically displayed upon the completion of the cell counts
Acquisition of high-resolution DAPI and bright field images of the transwell membrane surface in a 24 well plate format took ~ 3 minutes
