Withdrawal statementThe authors have withdrawn this manuscript following the identification of a methodological bias that affects the validity of the results. In particular, a bias in the statistical approach for the group-level control analysis led to an underestimation of the false positive rate. The studys conclusions are no longer valid. Therefore, the authors do not wish this work to be cited as reference. If you have any questions, please contact the corresponding author.

A Novel Cell Culture Scratch Assay Platform Generates Reproducible Gaps for Quantitative Cell Movement-Based Studies

Scratch assays are routinely performed for multiple research applications in cell biology (i.e., migration, metastasis, repair mechanisms, etc.). Conventional scratches are usually generated with pipette tips. User inconsistencies and varying pipette tips are major obstacles to reproducibility and quantitative power. Here, we present a novel, scratch/gap generating, cell culture plate-based, platform that addresses these issues, providing consistency and reproducibility across multiple users, significantly reducing variability, and increasing quantitative outcomes.
