CellDirector? – Live cell imaging in 2D and 3D

Product Guide (pdf)

The CellDirector assay – in addition to providing excellent cell culture conditions – give you the possibility to analyse real-time cell responses using live cell imaging, with full control of the chemotactic environment. Use CellDirector 2D or CellDirector 3D depending on your application.

CellDirector? 2D For chemotaxis experiments towards instantly formed gradients in 2D cell cultures	CellDirector? 3D For advanced chemotaxis and morphogenesis experiments in 3D cell cultures
Cells are seeded by injecting the cell suspension through the single outlet tube.	The cell-matrix mixture is injected into the cell-culture chamber through the cross-shaped slit.
Cells adhere to the bottom and 2D chemotactic cell responses are measured in the middle channel. Non-gradient cell behavior is measured in the control channels.	Cells, spheroids or small embryonic organs are embedded in the 3D matrix. A linear gradient is formed through the matrix, allowing for cell responses under in vivo-like conditions.
