Characterization and Drug Sensitivity Testing of HTS-Compatible Cancer Microtissues
10 Mar 2015Although the advantages of organotypic 3D microtissue models have been known for years, complex production and readout processes hampered its implementation into an industrial setting. This study presents a novel method to produce organotypic, scaffold-free cancer microtissues models (0.1-1mmin diameter) and its implementation in an automated screening process.

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.High ThroughputHigh throughput experiments allow the simultaneous processing of several samples. This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.
