3D Organoid and Cellular Microenvironment Preparation and High-throughput Detection System

In vivo, the cellular microenvironment has a crucial impact on the regulation of cell behavior and functions such as cellular differentiation, proliferation and migration. However, its biochemical and structural complexity limits our understanding of the key parameters regulating cell behavior.
In vitro, one of the challenges confronting cell biologists is therefore to work with controlled and reproducible microenvironments to more efficiently study living cells and model diseases.

Studying the influence of the microenvironment on intracellular and intercellular mechanisms has been essential for research in cell biology, for many years now. But in this quest, in vitro cell experiments confront researchers with many challenges, such as:
• the recurring reproducibility issues,
• reliability in term of physiological relevance,
• but also ease of use and efficiency.

This is why our research team has developed PRIMO: a photopatterning system performing micropatterning, microfabrication and hydrogel polymerization to overcome all this issues. We make it evolves to a new generation, PRIMO 2, with compact footprint, optic schematics allowing fluorescence and faster performances.

After preparation of the organoid and other cell models, the system can also detect them with high-throughput (50 microplates), 100+ focal planes and a z-range of 4.0 mm imaging and detection, suitable for long-term observation.
Product Principle
The system can create and prepare the organoid, organoid chip and other cell models through Micropatterning, Structuration of Hydrogel, Microfabrication and other mixed methods, and observe and detect them with high-throughput (50 microplates), 100+ focal planes and a z-range of 4.0 mm.
