Organoid icon

3D Ready™ Organoids and Organoid Expansion Service

Quality-controlled organoids are manufactured at scale, leveraging proprietary bioreactor and bioprocess technology to produce reliable and predictive PDOs.

Molecular Devices has global leadership in the scale-up and industrial manufacture of human-derived 3D organoids. Facilitated by our unique, patent-pending bioprocess technology, our semi-automated procedure uses controlled, monitored conditions to produce large numbers of standardized patient-derived organoids (PDOs) within a defined size range. Rigorous quality control ensures reduced batch-to-batch and user-to-user variability.

We offer both assay-ready organoids from our curated organoid lines and the capability to scale up your proprietary organoid lines to meet your specific requirements.
