Automated cultivation and high-throughput screening of 3D cardiac organoids

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming 34 lives every minute. Cardiotoxicity is also a significant reason for drug withdrawals during development. To tackle these challenges, Molecular Devices and HeartBeat.Bio have teamed up to provide automated solutions that better mimic human cardiac physiology.

In this presentation, Dr. Florian Fuchs, CTO of HeartBeat.Bio, and Dr. Oksana Sirenko, Senior Manager of Assay Development at Molecular Devices, showcase how automated organoid culture and high-throughput screening are facilitating the effective use of cardioids in drug discovery and preclinical cardiotoxicity testing. Learn how cardioids, automation, and high-throughput workflows are revolutionizing the future of cardiac drug development.

This video was filmed at SLAS Europe 2025.

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.AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention. It plays a critical role in improving productivity, minimizing human error, and accelerating workflows in fields like diagnostics, drug development, and industrial testing.
