Pu•MA System™ 3D – Assay automation for spheroids or organoids

The Pu•MA System 3D offers numerous advantages for cell cultivation and drug discovery. Firstly, it enables an automated workflow for complex protocols, ensuring high reproducibility of results. Secondly, the sample chamber protects cells from mechanical stress and guarantees gentle cell treatment. Additionally, the system performs automatic media changes, drug additions, and supernatant sampling. The small well format with a small sample volume allows for cost-efficient experimentation and is suitable for analyzing rare cells or limited samples. The system is also compatible with high-content imaging and plate readers and features a space-saving design for laboratory and incubator use. The intuitive touchscreen interface facilitates operation and enables quick familiarization with the system.

The Pu•MA System 3D is perfectly suited for a broad range of applications, including toxicology, metabolism, neuroscience, and oncology. The automated sequential drug addition and in situ imaging and sampling make the system particularly effective in oncology and neuroscience. In toxicology, the system can be used for toxicity testing in spheroids with in situ imaging. In metabolism, it can perform single-spheroid assays and subsequent metabolomics analyses.

With the Pu•MA System 3D, you can achieve precise control and automation of 3D cell assays, allowing you to program complex protocols and increase the reproducibility of results. The use of the Pu•MA System 3D is an effective and efficient way to automate your 3D assays and accelerate your research.

 

Applications:

  •  Toxicology: Toxicity testing in spheroids with in situ imaging
  •  Metabolism: Pu•MA System 3D for single spheroids assays and downstream metabolomics
  •  Neuroscience: Phenotypic response to sequential drug addition and analysis in neurospheroids
  •  Oncology: Automated organoid assays, sequential drug additions, in situ sampling and in situ imaging
