Science

Scientific foundation.

Agarose, sample localization and diffusion determine how 3D samples can be cultured and evaluated reproducibly. Aga Cup-specific publications are in preparation.

Scientific foundation

Position and medium access shape readouts.

In 3D culture models, position, contact area and diffusion path influence reproducibility. The Aga Cup addresses these physical variables: the sample remains localized on the dish floor, culture medium is held in the inner well and soluble factors diffuse through agarose toward the sample.

Publications
