Frequently Asked Questions
What research areas use 3D Petri Dish micro-molds?How do 3D Petri Dish micro-molds work?The micro-mold system uses non-adhesive agarose to create arrays of uniform recesses. When cells are seeded, they settle into these recesses and self-assemble into uniform 3D microtissues within 24 hours, without the need for specialized equipment or complex protocols.Why are 3D microtissues better than traditional 2D cell cultures?
3D microtissues formed using 3D Petri Dish® 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.
