<Free Offer> Complete one device for spheroid production, culture, real-time monitoring, and endpoint analysis - Technical Note
Three-dimensional cell culture that can reproduce an environment close to that in vivo. Spheroids can be easily created using "round-bottom plates" without scaffolds, but do you feel stressed by issues like "it's difficult to focus the microscope..." or "I want to track changes over time, but I'm concerned about the cost of staining each time and the toxicity to the cells"? With Tecan's microplate reader "Spark Cyto," you can utilize its unique image-based autofocus. It enables a series of assay processes from "label-free long-term growth monitoring" using AI image recognition in bright field to "quantitative evaluation" using fluorescence, all in one device. This technical note provides a detailed explanation of methods for effortless and consistent observation and evaluation of spheroid production using round-bottom microplates with Spark Cyto. Additionally, examples are provided to illustrate how to streamline experimental workflows by combining it with a plate washer. *The main document is the "【Technical Note】Real-time Growth Monitoring of Spheroids in Round-Bottom Microplates," located at the top of the catalog list below.*
