An in vitro system for the study of cell invasion through basement membrane

Corning® Matrigel® Invasion Chambers are tested for their ability to allow invasion of HT-1080 cells, an invasive human fibrosarcoma cell line, and to exclude invasion of 3T3 cells, a non-invasive mouse fibroblast cell line. Tested for bacteria and fungi.

Stable for >=3 months at –20°C. Keep frozen until use.

Allows for rapid and reproducible quantitation of the invasive potential of tumor cells in vitro. Consists of Falcon® cell culture inserts containing an 8µm pore-size PET membrane with a uniform layer of Corning Matrigel® basement membrane matrix. Convenient, ready-to-use invasion chambers offer lot-to-lot consistency and reliable cell culture performance.
