Mimicking Real Tissue Using 3D Cell Cultures Allows Cells to Grow and Propagate Better
13 Feb 2013Technological advances over the past couple of years have enabled 3D scaffolds to be engineered that create an in vivo proxy that is more realistically mimics living cellular environments. This application note demonstrates that the Freedom EVO workstation can simply and routinely process cell cultures in Alvetex Scaffold in a 96-well plate format. The results show that when combined these systems can provide cell biologists with higher throughput as well as higher level of standardization for both basic research and drug discovery.

Freedom EVO® with Dual Liquid Handling Arms
TecanTecan’s Freedom EVO series of automated workstations offer unrivalled processing speed and flexibility thanks to a unique feature that allows two liquid handling (LiHa) arms to act completely independently. Each arm of eight variable-spacing pipetting tips can be adapted to handle high volumes, for example of cell culture media, as well as low volumes of precious reagents or samples. The dual LiHa arms can run in parallel with the robotic manipulator (RoMa) arm which moves labware around the worktable, and are fully compatible with Tecan’s extensive range of application options, including storage elements, stirrers and incubation, separation or reading devices. This capability is a great asset for a variety of applications, including hit picking, serial dilutions, consecutive sample transfer and other aspects of assay preparation, and can greatly enhance the liquid handling power of any laboratory.
