Reinnervate and Tecan have signed an agreement to develop automated solutions for 3D cell culture.
The technology will be designed around the Freedom EVO liquid handling workstations and Reinnervate’s Alvetex Scaffold 3D cell culturing technology.
Alvetex products are based on a highly porous, polystyrene scaffold structure with a uniform and welldefined architecture that provides an excellent environment for cells to acquire and maintain their natural three-dimensional shape and organization during incubation.
The AlvetexScaffold technology therefore gives more biologically relevant data by overcoming the limitations of traditional monolayer cultures.
In combination with the flexibility and reliability of the Freedom EVO platform, it will provide powerful solutions for automated growth and maintenance of 3D cell cultures, allowing researchers to develop more reliable and powerful cellular assays.
