Brightfield and Fluorescence Imaging using 3D PrimeSurface Ultra-Low Attachment Microplates
9 Apr 2018Culturing cells in 3D provides a more a physiologically relevant approach to biomedical research, enabling the study of microenvironmental changes and interactions in health and disease. In this scientific poster, researchers from New Hampshire demonstrate the development of uniform, self-assemblied spheroids using S-BIO PrimeSurface ultra-low attachment cultureware. The PrimeSurface 96 and 384 ULA plates are also suitable for subsequent brightfield and fluorescent imaging of spheroids, illustrated here with the Cytation 5 multi-mode reader.

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.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.

These 3D microtissues can be used for toxicology testing, DMPK studies and many other applications involving cell analysis.
