Leading experts from the industry – Kenneth Pryde, Associate Director of Oncology Safety Sciences at AstraZeneca, Florian Fuchs, Chief Technology Officer at HeartBeat.bio, and Shan Dhamija, Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Molecular Devices – discuss the promise of 3D biology and organoids for advancing drug discovery. They examine how to overcome challenges involved in 3D biology and what the future of organoid research will look like.

Here we describe a workflow for the automation of OoC culture, as well as monitoring, and automated cell analysis. The integrated system includes the ImageXpress Confocal HT.ai High-Content Imaging System, an automated CO2 incubator, a liquid handler, and a collaborative robot. We developed methods for the automation of cell seeding, media exchange, and for monitoring the development and growth of 3D vasculature. In addition, the method facilitates automated compound testing and evaluation of toxicity effects.

SLAS 2023 was another exciting year to learn about innovative laboratory technologies. Whether you attended in-person or visited us online at our virtual event page, we were excited to share new methods and protocols to automate your complex biology workflows.

In case you missed the show or would just like to take a deeper look into the research presented, we’ve compiled all our resources in one place for you to explore at your leisure.

ELISA methods have become widely used across various fields of biology, from healthcare and food safety to cancer research and vaccine development. Whether you need to measure gluten in beer or neutralizing antibodies in serum, there is an ELISA available to provide answers to your scientific questions. Despite being first introduced over 50 years ago, ELISAs continue to be an essential tool for many researchers.

Learn what strategies your team can leverage to increase the detection of the fluorescent signal for optimized colony selection of the best-producing cell lines in a CHO cell model and other cell lines commonly used for therapeutic monoclonal IgG antibody production.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a state-of-the-art technology for the unbiased characterization of gene expression in complex cell and tissue samples. Despite having revolutionized modern biology, scRNA-seq remains technically challenging and often cost-prohibitive.

In a new workflow featuring the DispenCell™ Single-Cell Dispenser, we demonstrate a simple, affordable, and streamlined protocol for handling scRNA-seq library preparation and sequencing of rare cell populations.
