Measuring Mitochondrial Function and Glycolytic Flux in 3D Cell Cultures
17 Feb 2016One of the most informative ways to increase the biological relevance of an in vitro assay using 3D cell culture is to measure cell metabolism, whereby perturbed metabolism or mitochondrial function is probed without disrupting the 3D structure. This application note describes use of the FLUOstar Omega microplate reader from BMG LABTECH for the sensitive and high throughput measurement of oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification in 3D cell cultures.

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.
