Cell culture

Scientists showcase how the concentration of chemicals in droplets can be efficiently controlled by running experiments in the tiniest of cell cultures. These findings could be useful for more effective drug screening and cell-based analysis. Droplet-array sandwiching technology (DAST) lets one use droplets as tiny reaction chambers or cell culture media. In a recent study, […]

Culturing cells in 3D is simply a more realistic way to model how cells move and function in vitro. Spheroids, organoids, and more complex 3D systems have been invaluable to research, drug discovery, and personalised medicine. This e-book, sponsored by Corning, offers a practical guide for demystifying spheroids and organoids together with helpful tips for successfully […]

Jeremy Simpson is a keynote speaker for SLAS Europe 2022 and shares with Megan Thomas what excites him about this year’s programme and what he hopes the conference will cover, including approaches for standardisation in 3D cell models and new applications of data science. The day-to-day Simpson describes his set up as having two jobs […]

Félix Lavoie-Pérusse is co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Saguaro Technologies. He tells Lu Rahman why the company wants to make drug discovery more successful with its next-generation technologies in cell culture. Saguaro partners with drug discovery scientists to convert potentially disruptive technologies into valuable cell culture products. These products aim to either help scientists […]

Cell Guidance Systems, a specialist in the control, manipulation, and monitoring of cells and biotech company Manchester Biogel have launched an adaptable environment for 3D cell culture.  PODS-PeptiGels combines the benefits of two existing cell culture technologies – synthetic peptide hydrogels (PeptiGels) and a range of sustained release growth factors (PODS).   PODS-PeptiGels incorporates Cell Guidance […]

UPM Biomedicals has entered into an agreement with PerkinElmer to act as a distributor of the UPM GrowDex and GrowDase range of products. This new collaboration will offer researchers a complete solution for high throughput screening (HTS) of 3D cell cultures in early drug discovery, combining PerkinElmer’s cell imaging and automation solutions and knowledge with UPM’s animal-free 3D reagent […]

From basic to translational research and clinical applications, cell culture is an essential technique that underpins the generation of promising cell and gene therapies, says Abcam. Since the quality of cytokines and growth factors can significantly influence the properties and function of cultured cells, these bioactive proteins must be produced to the highest standards to […]
