The xCELLigence RTCA DP (dual purpose) instrument is unique in the ability to make continuous measurements of cell invasion and migration (CIM) using an electronically integrated Boyden chamber.

The instrument uses electrical impedance monitoring to quantify changes with a label-free methodology. The three cradles of the DP instrument enable three separate electronic 16-well plates to be controlled and monitored in parallel or independently of one another. This flexible plate batch processing allows maximum productivity for multiple users. The instrument operates in a standard CO2 cell culture incubator and the control unit is housed outside the incubator.

• Perform real-time cell invasion and migration assays using CIM-Plate, an electronically integrated Boyden chamber
• Obtain thousands of time points during your cell migration assay
• RTCA provides a quantitative readout of cell number, proliferation rate, cell size/shape, and cell-substrate attachment quality
