University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Department of Companion Animals and Horses, Equine Surgery Unit, VETERM, Veterinaerplatz 1, 1210, Vienna, Austria.

Published: September 2019

A novel magnetic scratch method achieves repeatability, reproducibility and geometric control greater than pipette scratch assays and closely approximating the precision of cell exclusion assays while inducing the cell injury inherently necessary for wound healing assays. The magnetic scratch is affordable, easily implemented and standardisable and thus may contribute toward better comparability of data generated in different studies and laboratories.
