How much does it cost to conduct migration assays using the Cell Sedimentation Manifold?
The Cell Sedimentation Manifold is precision engineered, reusable, resistant to solvents, autoclavable, and can be use indefinitely. It will be a trouble-free piece of laboratory equipment with a long, long life of use. (Our manifolds have been in constant use in our laboratories for over four years, with no loss in performance.) Migration studies require access to a biohazard containment hood (in which to handle the cells), an inverted microscope, and an incubator. The only consumable in the migration assay using the Cell Sedimentation Manifold is the Teflon-masked slides (a nominal cost of -$0.50eax) and the plastic ware in which to house the slides. All other reagents, supplies, matrix proteins, antibodies, etc. are those you already use for your experiments. Because of the small size and limited volume in which migration studies can be performed, the Cell Sedimentation Manifold may actually save you money through reduced use of expensive reagents.
