Tumor spheroids - 3D Cell Culture by using Matrigel®

Results and Conclusions

  • The increment of volume SUM depends on cell density. ('Volume' is calculated as; Optical Density x Area = pseudo volume)
  • 3D cultured samples can be quantified by scanning multiple times in the z direction, and synthesizing the images.
  • The quantification Cell3iMager duos can be perform on various culture methods such as ‘in Matrigel’ and ‘on Mtrigel’. culture.
