Chemotaxis Assay, Springer Lab. A chemotaxis assay's function is to assess whether a factor or molecule of interest has chemotactic activity on a motile cell type. Chemotaxis is the ability of a factor to cause the migration of a cell. The chemotactic assay is based on the creation of a chemical gradient of the chemotactic agent which will cause cells to migrate through the gradient towards the chemotactic agent.
