Zellviabilität messen — auch in 3D

In higher order organisms, cell-to-cell interactions are crucial to fulfill concerted, tissue-or organ-specific tasks. Three-dimensional cell culture models reflect the natural environment of tissue structures in a more realistic way than cells in traditional monolayer cultures. By combining an automatable microtissue technology with a cell based assay, cell viability, cytotoxicity and the number of cells can be determined in complex three-dimensional cell cultures.
