CERO 3D Incubator & Bioreactor

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.
