Promega and InSphero join forces: first application note available
Promega Corp., a world leader in integrated solutions for life sciences research and drug discovery, and InSphero have joined forces to meet the rapidly growing demand for optimized 3D cell-based assays.
Combining Promega’s strong expertise in assay development with InSphero’s award-winning 3D cell culture technology will provide our customers with excellent opportunities to establish easy-to-implement and highly predictive 3D microtissue assays.
The first of these application notes, illustrating the use of Promega’s widely used CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay with InSphero’s scaffold-free tumor microtissues, is now available. The CellTiter-Glo® assay has many benefits for use with InSphero 3D microtissues:
-
High sensitivity (as low as a few hundred cells)
-
Strong correlation between cell number and ATP content
-
Easy and fast processing
This document is the first of a series of joint application notes so please stay tuned for updates. If you have questions on 3D microtissue assay development we are keen to hear from you so please do get in touch.

Invitation to InSphero workshop “Compound de-risking with 3D-cell-culture systems” - Sept 9 in Manchester, UK & Oct 20 in Boston, US & Oct 25 in San Francisco, US
Attending an InSphero workshop is an excellent way to get fully updated with the latest information on 3D-cell-culture technologies for toxicological and efficacy studies. Our expert speakers, with their many years of combined experience, are in a unique position to provide you with information on different approaches to 3D culture and assays and the main issues affecting quality and costs in this segment of the industry today. The next half-day workshops will take place in
- Manchester, UK, on September 9, 2011,
- Boston, US, on October 20, 2011 and
- San Francisco, US, on October 25, 2011
The Manchester workshop starts at 8:30am. Places are limited, so please register as soon as possible here.
*Special offer for Drug Discovery 2011 participants: visit the InSphero stand (D6) at Drug Discovery 2011 to request a 50% discount voucher for this workshop!*
Program details and registration information for the US workshops will be available soon on our web site. Please reserve the dates.
