Event Details

In this 2-day workshop you will learn about 3D cell culture and model development in microfluidic platforms, directly from experienced scientists from Molecular Devices and MIMETAS. The workshop involves both theory and practise and you will spend a full day in the lab to seed, image, and analyze your cultures. One expert trainer per 3 participants makes this an intensive learning experience. By attending this workshop, you will learn how to design and carry out Organ-on-a-Chip experiments using the OrganoPlate®, how to image and analyze your 3D cultures using ImageXpress High-Content Imaging Systems, and how to introduce the technology in your lab.

Program
