Ibidi has released the U-Slide Chemotaxis 3D, a chamber for chemotaxis and migration studies of non-adherent cells in 3D gel matrices.
The slide allows the motion tracking of non-adherent, chemotactically active cells such as lymphocytes, dendritic cells or macrophages in different gel matrices, for example, collagen.
At present, comparable cell-based assays only allow the analysis of migrating cells in a 2D fashion.
With the Ibidi U-Slide Chemotaxis 3D it is possible to simulate, analyse and quantify the motility of non-adherent cells in an in-vivo-like environment over a 48-hour period.
