Dynamic Monitoring of Cell Adhesion and Spreading

摘要

As shown in several experiments, a real-time, label-free and impedance-based method can be used to monitor and quantitatively assess cell attachment and spreading in real-time. The technology offers distinct and important advantages over traditional end-point assays such as the avoidance of labels, allowing for more physiologically relevant assays which save on time, labor, and resources, as well as monitoring the effect of matrix proteins on adhesion and spreading in a single experiment.
