Frequently Asked Questions
What research areas use 3D Petri Dish micro-molds?
Researchers across oncology, cardiac, neuroscience, hepatic, dental, and many other fields use 3D Petri Dish&ref; micro-molds. The system is versatile enough to work with virtually any adherent cell type to create standardized 3D microtissues.
How do 3D Petri Dish micro-molds work?Why are 3D microtissues better than traditional 2D cell cultures?
3D microtissues formed using 3D Petri Dish&ref; micro-molds better recapitulate the complex cell-cell interactions, extracellular matrix organization, and signaling gradients found in living tissues. This leads to more physiologically relevant results compared to growing cells on flat plastic surfaces, where cells often behave differently than they do in the body.
