Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.SpheroidsSpheroids are clusters of cells that have been grown in 3D culture to be used as <i>in vitro</i> model systems. These 3D microtissues can be used for toxicology testing, DMPK studies and many other applications involving cell analysis.Organoids3D Cell CultureCulturing cells in three dimensions allows more physiologically relevant observations to be made regarding cellular interactions and gene expression. 3D models provide a more accurate representation of cells in vivo and are more stable than 2D cultures, making them very useful for long-term studies.3D Imaging3D imaging technologies allow for the visualization and analysis of three-dimensional structures at high resolution. These systems are used in fields like molecular biology, material science, and medical diagnostics. 3D imaging can be applied to visualize cells, tissues, and organs, providing valuable insights into their structure and function.
