Greiner Bio-One (Monroe, NC, USA) is highlighting its magnetic 3D (M3D) cell culture technology which opens up new possibilities in high-throughput screening at MEDICA 2023.

M3D bioprinting combined with cell-repellent surfaces is a superior technology for enabling the miniaturization and speed needed for high-throughput screening. M3D bioprinting enables the uniform generation and ease of manipulation of spheroids/organoids for high-throughput screening by directing magnetized cells to assemble in a controllable size within a shorter culture time. Thus, this technology surpasses the limitations of other high-throughput screening platforms. For improving predictiveness and reducing false positives of high-throughput screening, M3D has shown to be an effective and superior tool to power faster, cheaper, and better results. Moreover, 3D cell culture methodologies are often not easily scalable, meaning that the assumption that one technique used on primary screening is translatable into secondary ones is often inaccurate. A clear benefit for M3D has been its scalability, using the same workflow for high and low throughputs and delivering consistent.

At MEDICA 2023, Greiner Bio-One is also showcasing its safe, effective, and reliable blood collection products for hospitals and clinics. The company’s VACUETTE Safety Products ensure safety and comfort during blood sampling while protecting healthcare staff from blood-borne infections. By using safety products, staff protection is maximized and there is no risk of infection. For the safe transport of samples to the laboratory, Greiner Bio-One offers the VACUETTE – Transport Line range of transport containers of different dimensions in which the Vacuette is transported in an upright position. The transport bags are made of a special isothermal material that maintains a constant temperature of the samples. The transport system protects the samples from heat and mechanical influences. The transport bags also provide storage space for the accompanying medical documentation.
