InSphero AG, the leading provider of scaffold-free 3D microtissues, cell culture technology, and 3D-focused contract research testing, announced today the release of their new GravityTRAP™ Ultra-low Attachment (ULA) Plate. The automation-compatible 96-well ULA format expands InSphero's portfolio of tissue culture platforms for scaffold-free 3D cell culture, offering a low-cost, enhanced ULA plate ideal for production of 3D tumor microtissues derived from tumor cell lines, or to screen for the propensity of cells to form spheroids in a low-attachment environment.

The GravityTRAP™ ULA Plate includes wells specially coated to prevent attachment and monolayer growth of cells, and provides significant advantages over existing ultra-low attachment spheroid plates, including simplified medium exchange and improved imaging. Each well incorporates a SureExchange™ tapered ledge design that simplifies the process of changing growth medium during long term culture or compound dosing, and protects spheroids from disruption or accidental aspiration. The narrow (1 mm diameter) growth chamber ...
