Hi, Kindly guide me that how many cells of HEC1A & HEC1B Cell lines should I seed for Wound healing assay and which plate type is recommended 6, 12 & 24?. Articles suggested mainly 24 wells plate. TIA

Preparation:Prepare the cells by trypsinizing and counting them to obtain a single-cell suspension. Seeding:Seed 50,000 to 100,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate with the appropriate culture medium. Allow the cells to grow to a confluent monolayer (usually 24-48 hours, depending on the growth rate of the cells). Wound Creation:Use a pipette tip or a specialized wound-making tool to create a scratch (wound) in the monolayer. Wash the wells gently with medium to remove detached cells and debris. Incubation and Monitoring:Replace the medium with fresh culture medium and incubate the plate. Monitor and take images at various time points (e.g., 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours) to observe the wound closure.
Plate Type:
- 24-well plates are commonly recommended for wound healing assays. This is because they provide enough surface area for creating a consistent and measurable wound while allowing you to observe the cells clearly under a microscope.
Cell Seeding Density:
- The seeding density can vary depending on the specific cell line and the desired confluency at the time of creating the wound. Typically, you aim to have a confluent monolayer of cells to create a clear and uniform wound.
HEC1A and HEC1B:
- For HEC1A and HEC1B cell lines, a common seeding density is between 50,000 to 100,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate. You may need to optimize this based on your specific conditions to ensure a confluent monolayer.
Steps:
Tips:
- Optimization: It's crucial to optimize the seeding density and wound-making technique for your specific experimental setup.
- Replicates: Perform the assay in triplicates or more to ensure reproducibility and reliability of the results.
Following these guidelines should help you set up a successful wound healing assay for HEC1A and HEC1B cell lines.

The seeding density can vary depending on the cell line and the specific conditions of your experiment. However, for HEC1A and HEC1B cell lines, a typical seeding density ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate.
