DescriptionECM Cell Adhesion Array Kit, colorimetric
OverviewIntroduction:

Cell adhesion plays a major role in cellular communication and regulation, and is of fundamental importance in the development and maintenance of tissues. Scientists are continually examining the adhesion, migration, and invasion of many diverse cell types on various extracellular matrix (ECM) component proteins. The CHEMICON® ECM Cell Adhesion Array Kit (Colorimetric) provides an ECM Array microtiter plate with a colorimetric detection format, allowing for large-scale screening and quantitative comparison of multiple samples/cell lines. The kit is designed as a rapid (1-2 hours), cost effective, efficient method for characterization of cell adhesion.

In addition, Chemicon continues to provide numerous migration, invasion, and adhesion products including:

Test Principle:

The CHEMICON® ECM Cell Adhesion Array kit utilizes a colorimetric detection format, allowing large-scale screening and quantitative comparison of multiple samples. Each kit contains a 96-well, microtiter plate consisting of 12 X 8-well removable strips. Each well within a strip (7 wells total) is pre-coated with a different ECM protein (see table below) along with one BSA-coated well (negative control). Experimental cells are seeded onto the coated substrates, where adherent cells are captured. Subsequently, unbound cells are washed away, and the adherent cells are fixed and stained. After stain extraction, the relative cell attachment is determined using absorbance readings.



Additional information about the ECM components provided in the kit:
Materials Required but Not Delivered· Multi-channel and/or repeating pipettes.

· Harvesting buffer: EDTA or trypsin cell detachment buffer. Suggested formulations include a) 2 mM EDTA/PBS, b) 0.05% trypsin in Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) containing 25 mM HEPES, or other cell detachment formulations as optimized by individual investigators.

Note: Trypsin cell detachment buffer maybe required for difficult cell lines. Allow sufficient time for cell receptor recovery.

· Tissue culture growth medium appropriate for subject cells, such as DMEM containing 10% FBS.

· Quenching Medium: serum-free medium, such as DMEM, EMEM, or FBM (fibroblast basal media), containing 5% BSA.

Note: Quenching Medium must contain divalent cations (Mg2+, Ca2+) sufficient for quenching EDTA in the harvesting buffer.

· Sterile PBS or HBSS to wash cells.

· Deionized water.

· Low speed centrifuge and tubes for cell harvesting.

· CO2 incubator appropriate for subject cells.

· Sterile cell culture hood.

· Hemacytometer and microscope for counting cells.

· Trypan Blue or equivalent viability stain.

· Microplate reader (540-570 nm detection) or spectrophotometer

Usage Statement
  • Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
Storage and Shipping Information
Storage ConditionsThe ECM Array Plate can be stored at 2° to 8°C in the foil pouch up to its expiration date. Unused strips may be placed back in the pouch for storage. Ensure that the desiccant remains in the pouch, and that the pouch is securely closed. Keep the remaining kit components at 2° to 8°C.

Precautions:

· Cell stain contains minor amounts of crystal violet, a toxic substance, which may cause cancer and heritable genetic damage. Handle with caution. Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.

· Extraction buffer contains alcohol. Avoid internal consumption.
