Build Complex 3D Tissue Models from Collagen In Less Than 1 Hour
11 Apr 2011
Discover the technology of RAFT (Real Architecture for 3D Tissue), the 3D tissue modelling system from TAP Biosystems. The RAFT system enables researchers to create robust and reproducible 3D cell culture for compound screening, cell biology, drug discovery, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The technology is designed to mimic an in vivo environment, utilising cell culture with physiological concentrations of collagen. SelectScience.tv interview at SBS 2011.

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.
