Bioreactor for cultivation of 3D cell cultures – Biotechnology B3

- Bioreactor for cultivation of 3D cell cultures
  (Contact Person: assist. prof. Ana Mitrović, PhD)

The obtained equipment is bioreactor for 3D cell cultures (spheroids, organoids) that provides constant conditions and creates and environment which promotes the growth, maintenance and functionality of larger 3D structures that mimic the properties of in vivo tissues. The bioreactor is used for the long-term cultivation of complex 3D cell models that would adequately mimic pathological conditions. The bioreactor combines CO2 incubator with independent rotating bioreactor system for growing cell aggregates.

Equipment access:
The equipment is located in the cell laboratory of B3 department, JSI. The equipment is available to researchers from JSI and external users by prior arrangement (contact: ana.mitrovic@ijs.si) within working hours. The equipment can be used only by users trained to work with the equipment and in the cell laboratory. The possibility of free use is offered in case of joint RR project, otherwise the use is charged according to the JSI price list. After experiment set up, the bioreactor is used for cultivation for a longer period of time.
