Product Summary for Cultrex 3-D Spheroid Colorimetric Assay, 96-well
Why Use Cultrex 3-D Spheroid Colorimetric Assay, 96-well?
The Cultrex 3-D Spheroid Colorimetric Proliferation/Viability Assay utilizes a 3-D Culture Qualified 96 Well Spheroid Formation Plate alongside a specialized Spheroid Formation ECM to drive aggregation and/or spheroid formation of cells. Upon completion of spheroid formation, the spheroid may be treated with pharmacological agents to evaluate tumor viability after drug treatment. Tumor spheroid expansion is visualized microscopically and can be quantified through image analysis software for real-time and label free evaluation. At the conclusion of the assay, cell viability may be assessed by absorbance using MTT. The 3-D Spheroid Colorimetric Proliferation/Viability Assay offers an in vitro, standardized, three-dimensional, high content format for inducing multicellular tumor spheroid (MCTS) formation and quantitifying cell viability within the spheroids in response to pharmacological treatment.

Background: Basement Membrane Extracts
Basement membrane extract (BME) is a type of extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse sarcomas. BME is commonly used in cell culture and tissue engineering to provide a 2-D or 3-D scaffold for cells, allowing them to grow, differentiate, and interact in an environment that closely mimics the native ECM. This makes BME invaluable for modeling the behavior of cells in vivo. All Cultrex BME formulations are rigorously tested to ensure performance, quality, and lot-to-lot consistency.
