The cell culture plates SP5D are suitable for several applications in biology or medical research. As they support the formation of uniform spheroids and have a simple handling, this innovation is ideal for the following areas:
Cancer and tumor biology | Drug screening | Radiosensitivity | Tissue engineering | Studies on metastasis | Neurodegenerative disease
Learn in this video how easy it is to work with the Sphericalplate 5D from Kugelmeiers. Thanks to the patented geometry and special coating, you can grow up to 9,000 size-controlled, uniform spheroids per cell culture plate.
The spherical plate 5D (SP5D) is a 3D cell culture plate for the formation of uniform, standardized, size-controlled spheroids with high quality and yield. It allows you the effortless scaling and a translation into the diagnostic or clinical application. At the same time, the reproducibility of follow-up tests is increased, since the experiments always start under identical initial conditions due to the low size variance of the cultivated spheroids.
Those who do not want to rely on the inefficient Hanging Drop method for the cultivation of spheroids, will use culture plates especially provided for this purpose.
When choosing the suitable plate, you should consider some aspects to receive the desired result at the end. Handling, coating and scalability are just three of the key points that should have an impact on the decision.
This Buyer’s Guide should help you to consider the most important aspects and thus to identify the right 3D cell culture plate for the desired application.
Cell culture is an important research area which receives increasing attention. Here, animal cells offer the basis for the different researches as well as the examination and effect of new medicines on the cell. In addition, it is possiblethat animal tests can be considerably reduced. But also in the cell culture, different approaches can be applied. In the 2D cell culture, the animal cells are either cultivated in a suspension culture (free-floating in the medium) or as adherent cells (monolayer on a surface). However, regarding the 2D cell culture, you can reach certain limits as many interactions, especially between the cells, are ignored. To avoid these limitations, the 3D cell culture can be taken into consideration. The context for the 3D cell culture is actually relatively simple. Due to the fact that the world and all organisms are three-dimensionally structured, of course it makes sense to apply them also to the cell culture.
