The present invention discloses a device for monitoring chemotaxis or chemoinvasion
including a housing comprising: a support member and a top member, the top member
mounted to the support member by being placed in substantially fluid-tight conformal
contact with the support member. The support member and the top member are configured
such that they together define a discrete chamber adapted to allow a monitoring
of chemotaxis or chemoinvasion therein. The discrete chamber includes a first well
region including at least one first well, the at least one first well configured
to received a test agent therein; a second well region including at least one second
well, the at least one second well configured to receive a sample comprising cells
therein; and a channel region including at least one channel connecting the first
well region and the second well region with one another. The second well region
is preferably horizontally offset with respect to the first well region in a test
orientation of the device.
