Low-shear culture
Definition
Suspension cell growth conditions designed to minimize mechanical stress that can damage fragile 3D structures; central to CERO 3D positioning.
Why it matters
For scientific teams:
- Preserves morphology and viability.
- Prevents stress-induced phenotypic changes.
- Improves reproducibility of 3D experiments.
For decision-makers:
- Reduces culture failure rates.
- Improves reliability of long-term assays.
- Supports premium 3D biology applications.
FAQ
Q: What happens under high-shear conditions?
A: Structures can fragment, lose viability, or change phenotype.
Q: How is low shear achieved?
A: Through controlled rotation, mixing, and flow design.
