Core Facility:
Greiner Bio-One's magnetic cell culturing technology uses biocompatible nanoparticles (NanoShuttle™-PL) in order to magnetize cells. After magnetization cells can form three-dimensional spheroid models in a relatively short period of time (24 hours). This high throughput technique is compatible with fluorescent microscopy, Western blot, qRT-PCR, flow cytometry, viability assays and chemiluminescence methods.
The advantages of magnetic cell culture include:
- Mimicking native tissue environment
- Rapid 3D model formation within hours
- No specialized equipment, media, or artificial substrate
- Easy to handle / no sample loss
- Allows co-culture
