(Experimental Services) Cell Scratch Test

(Experimental Services) Cell Scratch TestIt is a simple, economical, and intuitive in vitro method for studying the migration ability of adherent cells.

(Experimental Services) Cell Scratch TestThe basic process is to first culture the cells in a culture plate until they fuse in a single layer, and then use a sterile pipette or specialized scratch machine to create a uniformly thick "scratch" on the cell layer. After cleaning and removing detached cells, observe and record scratch images under a microscope for 0 hours. Then continue to culture the cells for a certain period of time (such as 24, 48 hours), and take photos again at the same location. By comparing images at different time points and measuring the changes in scratch width, the speed and ability of cells to migrate to non cellular areas can be quantitatively analyzed. This experiment is widely used to evaluate the effects of drugs, genes, and other factors on cell migration and repair ability, and is widely applied in research such as tumor metastasis and wound healing
