A Single Source for 3D Cell Culture

Greiner Bio-One has partnered with Nano3D Biosciences to present innovative solutions for 3D cell culture. The kits simplify the cultivation of cells into three-dimensional structures. The physiological conditions of these types of 3D cultures are very similar to those in the body and thus allow for significant results for preclinical drug screening, toxicology and cancer research. With compatible cell-repellent surface cell culture vessels and microplates, Greiner Bio-One offers an ideal platform for Nano3D’s technology.

The 3D technology is based on magnetisation of cells using nanoparticles that attach themselves to the cell membrane. Development of three-dimensional spheroids or ring structures is initiated by briefly applying magnets.

Greiner Bio-One CELLSTAR cell-repellent cell culture vessels and microplates support three-dimensional cell growth by preventing adherent cell growth on the vessels’ surface. Kits allow rapid development of three-dimensional model structures as well as co-culture of various cell lines using standard media and laboratory equipment. Easy-to-use in different formats, the platforms minimise risk of sample loss during experimental runs. Several studies have demonstrated that the magnetic particles have no effect on the growth characteristics and physiology of cells.
