Stencell - Presto

Description

Stencell are ready-to-use silicon chambers that you can stick and remove for cellular confinement or dynamic assays, such as migration or wound-healing.

Stencell was designed to standardize your experiments and minimize the consumption of reagents. It is very helpful when you are working with super expensive reagents or very rare cell lines, and when you want to test various experimental hypothesis.
