Validation and pharmacological utility of real-time, live-cell assays for single 3D spheroids
28 Apr 2021A growing body of evidence suggests that more relevant and translational observations can be made using 3D micro-tissues and organoids as compared to 2D monolayer cell models.
In this application note, Sartorius describe methods and validation for miniaturized (96/384-well) Incucyte® Single Spheroid Assays based on non-invasive bright-field image analysis, performed with the Incucyte® Spheroid Analysis Software Module.

Combinatorial ChemistryCombinatorial chemistry, also known as combichem, is a technique used in drug discovery to create libraries of structurally related compounds. A library is generated by synthesis with a chemical reactor system or by computer-based modeling of compound combinations. When undertaking combinatorial chemistry consider reagents, buffers, resins and standards.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.
