Swift Analytical
Swift Analytical are the UK distributor for the CellDynamics W8 (pronounced weight) physical cytometer. It can determine the mass density, size and weight of 3D spheroids in the range 50-500 um. The W8 also enables sorting so fractions can be collected and processed for downstream applications. For more information, please visit https://www.swiftanalytical.com/product-category/instruments/celldynamics/. This device is being used by Lucy Stead’s group to enable greater insight into gliablastoma 3D tumour models with the aim to provide better patient outcomes.
- Swift Analytical distribute ultra low adhesion plates in 96 or 384 well format for 3D spheroid formation. Further details can be found on https://www.swiftanalytical.com/product-category/3d-cell-culture/facellitate/. For higher density spheroids per plate, ie up to 9000, please visit https://www.swiftanalytical.com/product-category/3d-cell-culture/facellitate/
- For certain applications, cell culture inserts are used to form 3D spheroids. To view the range, please visit https://www.swiftanalytical.com/product-category/3d-cell-culture/cellqart/
- The use of Matrigel in forming 3D tissue cultures poses numerous ethical, quality and supply chain issues. Swift Analytical are distributors of the Gelomics LunaGel cross linking system. The system utilises a range of high quality, pharmaceutical grade collagen materials which can provide tunable low and high stiffness tissue constructs for a wide range of applications.
