Directional motility assays make use of Boyden chambers or Transwell culture inserts with porous membranes that separate cells seeded in the upper chamber from a chemoattractant supplied in a lower chamber. These assays are often time-consuming and are associated with several limitations due to manual counting and inconsistent results; low signal-to-noise ratio and fluorescence interference; and high cost and the need for specific equipment. Here, we describe a simple, direct, and easy ATP luminescence-based motility assay (ALMA), which can be used for 96-well plate quantification.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D016895 Culture Media, Serum-Free CULTURE MEDIA free of serum proteins but including the minimal essential substances required for cell growth. This type of medium avoids the presence of extraneous substances that may affect cell proliferation or unwanted activation of cells.

D049449 Luminescence Emission of LIGHT when ELECTRONS return to the electronic ground state from an excited state and lose the energy as PHOTONS. It is sometimes called cool light in contrast to INCANDESCENCE. LUMINESCENT MEASUREMENTS take advantage of this type of light emitted from LUMINESCENT AGENTS.
