Definition
A benchtop instrument designed to support 3D culture systems, including organoids, spheroids, stem cells, and tissues, that utilizes low shear, bi-directional rotation which supports reduced stress and long-term culture.
Why it matters
For scientific teams:
- Maintains viability of fragile 3D structures.
- Supports long-term differentiation and maturation.
- Reduces mechanical stress compared to conventional mixing.
For decision-makers:
- Enables advanced 3D workflows without complex setup.
- Reduces failure rates in long-term cultures.
- Expands platform capabilities into tissue-scale models.
FAQ
Q: Why is low shear important in 3D culture?
A: High mechanical forces can damage delicate 3D structures.
Q: What types of models does CERO 3D support?
A: Organoids, spheroids, stem cell aggregates, and tissue-like constructs.
