InSphero AG, the leading supplier of advanced, yet easy-to-use 3D cell culture-based solutions for drug discovery and development, will debut the GravityTRAP™ 384 Microtissue Platform at the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) 2017 Conference, February 4-8 in Washington, D.C.

Engineered specifically for 3D microtissue culture, the GravityTRAP™ 384 platform includes two features that differentiate it from existing 384-well plates: distinct microtissue culture and media chambers separated by a tapered SureXchange™ pipetting ledge, providing safe medium aspiration and exchange without accidental loss of microtissues; and a continuous flat-bottomed glass base plate combined with a black-walled body, ensuring superior confocal and high content imaging optics while reducing fluorescent cross-talk between wells. The platform conforms to Society for Biomolecular Screening (SBS) standards and is compatible with state-of-the-art high content imaging and automated liquid handling systems.

“More and more, industry is looking to leverage 3D models that better reflect in vivo biology ...
