Manual pipette scratching produces wound width variability of \u00b130\u201360% between wells and operators. Insert-based methods reduce this but introduce artefacts from insert removal and non-physiological gap creation. Photochemical wound creation with defined light masks achieves below 5% wound width CV \u2014 the highest reproducibility currently achievable in a standard wound healing assay format.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"hub-body\">\n\n    <!-- METHOD OVERVIEW -->\n    <span class=\"section-label\" style=\"margin-top:56px; display:block;\">The 4 Methods<\/span>\n    <h2>Wound Healing Assay Methods \u2014 Overview<\/h2>\n    <p>All four methods aim to create a defined cell-free zone in a confluent cell monolayer and monitor how cells migrate to close the gap.
