Automation of the RAFT™ Collagen-Based 3D Cell Culture System
21 Jan 2013Researchers are increasingly turning to 3D cell culture techniques for their studies, due to the improved physiological relevance of the cellular environment. TAP Biosystems has developed a novel 3D cell culture technique, RAFT (Real Architecture for 3D Tissue), which allows researchers to culture cell types of their choice in an in vivo like environment. In this poster it is shown that the Tecan EVO freedom can be used to reliably automate 3D cell culture preparation. RAFT 3D cell cultures maintain high cell viability, reproducibility and experimental versatility.

RAFT (Real Architecture for 3D Tissue)
TAP BiosystemsRAFT is a new 3D cell culture system that enables scientists to create complex 3D tissue models in a simple, consistent and reproducible format. RAFT uses physiologically relevant collagen concentrations to create the most natural environment for cells. RAFT enables scientists to create 3D cell cultures in 3 simple steps in less than 1 hour. RAFT can be used to support assay development and secondary screening applications. It can also be used in a broad range of cell biology applications including: stem cell research, oncology research, toxicology and tissue engineering / scaffolds.
