Mitigation of liver toxicity with the Akura Twin Microplate

18 Apr 2024

Liver toxicity refers to the adverse effects or damage caused to the liver due to exposure to certain substances or medications. InSphero explores a high-throughput platform assessing liver toxicity induced by therapeutic bispecific antibodies in co-culture with liver tumors. The Akura Twin™ Microplate utilizes accurate 3D liver microtissues alongside tumor co-culture models to simulate the tumor microenvironment, aiming to identify mitigation strategies for liver damage and evaluate tumor-killing efficacy. Results indicate the potential for this platform to mimic clinical scenarios, aiding in the screening and development of novel immunotherapies.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
