Explore the Latest 3D Cell Culture Innovations Now Available

Reproducibility, physiological relevance, and streamlined workflows are key challenges in 3D cell culture research. Whether you’re modelling complex tissues, screening compounds, or investigating cell–matrix interactions, your success depends on reliable and easy-to-use systems that deliver consistent, biologically meaningful results.

To help you take your 3D models to the next level, Tebubio now offers innovative tools from two leading biotech partners, Apricell Biotechnology and 4Dcell, that deliver advanced solutions for spheroid and organoid formation, integrating seamlessly into your existing lab setup.

Apricell’s 3-in-1 Plate is an innovative Hydrogel-Based Culture Plate Insert that fits into each well of a standard 6-well plate. This versatile system integrates spheroid formation, extracellular matrix (ECM) incorporation, drug testing, and downstream analyses, all within a single, ready-to-use platform.

Key features include:

• Seamless integration of 3D culture and analysis workflows

• Compatibility with standard imaging instruments

• Adaptability for co-culture, invasion, and drug screening assays

• Suitability for IHC and molecular analyses

The 4Dcell's SmartSphero™ system represents a next-generation approach to anchored organoid culture. Utilising a proprietary hydrogel with anti-adhesive properties, SmartSphero enables the rapid self-assembly of cells into uniform spheroids. The integrated APT® (Anchoring Point Technology) ensures that spheroids remain fixed in position during liquid handling steps such as medium exchange or compound addition.

Benefits at a glance:

• Stable and reproducible spheroid positioning

• High optical transparency compatible with all standard microscopy techniques

• Improved assay consistency and reduced sample loss

• Ideal for drug testing, functional studies, and organoid formation
