Spheroid Imaging Mountant
Shepshed, LEICS., UK – The thermo-reversible mountant CyGEL™ (Biostatus Ltd., UK) enables high resolution imaging of live 3D tumor spheroids cultured in low-adherence conditions and without fixation or cytospin centrifugation. A recent paper by Fredika M. Robertson, et al., Imaging and Analysis of 3D Tumor Spheroids Enriched for a Cancer Cell Phenotype. J Biomol Screen. 2010 15:820-829, confirms that CyGEL™ stabilizes multicellular structures for imaging and characterization, whilst retaining cellular viability, morphology and protein expression. CyGEL™ is optically inert and clear, compatible with fluorescence and permits delivery of organelle-specific and viability probes. Objects can be isolated, imaged and then easily recovered for orthogonal analysis. CyGEL™ allows a breadth of advanced microscopic techniques for live-cell imaging of both mammalian and non-mammalian structures.
