How can the ibidi Culture-Insert mimic a physiological wound without causing cell damage?

When using in vitro assays, it is very difficult to simulate physiological wound in a reproducible manner. Of course, debris from dead cells might play a role in migration related to wound healing. ibidi’s wound healing assay using the Culture-Insert provides reproducible, non-wounded cell patches.

In vivo, a variety of other parameters have a bigger influence on wound healing, such as the interaction of different cell types. The in vitro ibidi wound healing assay using the Culture-Insert separates the migration speed from all of these other effects, providing an objective and reproducible experimental environment.
