Webinar: Automated Workflows for Zebrafish Embryos and Organoids
Get access to the recording of the Webinar! Manual manipulation of zebrafish embryos, larvae, and organoids creates real technical bottlenecks: low throughput, inconsistent results, and hours of hands-on work. In this webinar, hosted jointly by BioVis Uppsala, Bionomous, and Celvivo, discover how automation solves these challenges, covering automated sorting and screening workflows for zebrafish and […]
Advancing 3D Cell Culture with Automation: Organoids, Spheroids and Assembloids
The shift to 3D cell culture, with spheroids, organoids, and assembloids, is opening new doors in biological research, offering models that better mimic human tissues and disease. Yet as these models become more intricate, so do the challenges: ensuring uniformity, establishing reproducible and scalable production, etc. This month, we explore how automation is helping researchers […]
Application note – Intelligent Automation for Advanced 3D Models
Would you like to automate your organoids workflows to standardise and scale your assays? Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models are transforming biomedical research by enabling in vitro physiologically relevant systems that better mimic native tissue structure and function. While constructs generation technologies have advanced significantly, downstream processes such as selection, characterization, and plating often remain […]
Stronger together: how NAMs can be combined to achieve more predictive results
New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are increasingly used to study biological effects in more human-relevant and ethical ways, yet each model captures only part of the picture. In this month’s article, we explore how combining complementary NAMs, such as 3D cell cultures (e.g. organoids and spheroids) and zebrafish embryos, can help strengthen interpretation and improve confidence […]
From promise to practice: Why alternatives to animal testing aren’t yet scalable
As described in last month’s article, New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Non-Animal Technologies (NATs), like organoids or fish eggs, are transforming the landscape of biomedical research, toxicology, and drug development. By offering human-relevant insights while reducing or replacing animal use, they hold the promise of more ethical, predictive, and cost-effective science. So, what’s limiting their […]
Towards a future beyond animal testing?
As spring fades into summer and nature bursts into full bloom, it is a fitting time to reflect on scientific approaches that promote innovation while advancing more ethical and sustainable research practices. This past spring was filled with events and initiatives that energized the research community and accelerated the development of forward-thinking solutions. Among them, […]
