Automated Generation of Spheroids with Cell Care STAR: Standardized 3D Cell Culture Handling

Application note 2511 03 Standardized 3 D Cell Culture Cover

Standardize 3D Cell Culture with Cell Care STAR

Automation is key to scaling 3D cell culture and replacing animal models. This application note demonstrates how the Hamilton® Cell Care STAR enables reproducible spheroid generation and maintenance using Akura™ 96 Spheroid Microplates. With optimized work steps for seeding, imaging, and media exchange, Cell Care STAR delivers consistency, safety, and traceability across multi-day protocols.

Key Takeaways

  • Purpose-built for 3D culture: Dedicated work steps reduce mechanical stress and enable consistent spheroid formation across replicates.
  • Low-touch, high-throughput workflows: From cell seeding to imaging and media exchange—automated with minimal manual input.
  • Traceable, modular control: Cell Control Software enables batch scheduling, LIMS integration, and full workflow customization over days or weeks.
