Perfecta3D® Hanging Drop Plates Case Study: Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI)

9 Apr 2014

This case study describes how scientists at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes are using 96- and 384-well Perfecta3D Hanging Drop Plates to form models of human tumors using appropriate co-cultures of carcinoma cell lines and fibroblasts.

Perfecta3D Hanging Drop Plates - 384-Well

3D Biomatrix

The patent-pending Perfecta3D® Hanging Drop Plates are 96- and 384-well plates that facilitate the formation, culture, and testing of three-dimensional (3D) spheroids and stem cell aggregates without the aid of coatings or matrices. With only one spheroid forming in each well, 3D spheroids formed in Perfecta3D Hanging Drop Plates are consistent and diameter can be controlled by the number of cells seeded in each well. Media and compounds can be added or removed from the top of the plate, and cells can be added for patterned co-cultures. The well plate format means that the plates are compatible with manual or automated liquid handling equipment. Product and ordering information can be found at www.3DBiomatrix.com/products.

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.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.
