Press Release Body: Trevigen launches Cultrex® 24 Well Cell Invasion Assay kits to
quantify the degree to which invasive cells penetrate either basement membrane
extract, collagen I, collagen IV, or laminin I, in vitro. The kit uses Calcein AM to
assay invasive properties of cells in response to stimulators or inhibitors.

Utilizing a simplified Boyden chamber design with individual 8 µm polyester membrane
inserts, the 24 well format allows users to independently coat with a matrix of
their choice and assess cell responses to varying thicknesses and dilutions of the
matrix. For more information, contact Trevigen by phone at 800-873-8443, email
