Mass production of
uniform spheroids

Routinely produce up to 20,184 uniformly sized spheroids per plate…with minimal effort.

This innovative microwells-in-macrowell technology (Sphericalplate5D or “SP5D”, Kugelmeiers Ltd patented) enables easy mass-production of uniformly sized spheroids or embryoid bodies. Spheroids can be scaled from hundreds for laboratory research, up to millions for tissue engineering / regenerative medicine applications. Designed to meet rigorous medical and regulatory requirements, the technology provides an adaptable platform to support your critical diagnostic or clinical projects. It guarantees standardized, uniformly sized spheroids even at large scale, with the handling advantage of easily changing media without disturbing the spheroids.

Technical advantages of SP5D plates

Rounded bottom of microwell for optimal cell aggregation

No requirement to do an anti-adhesive pre-coating

Many spheroids per pipetting step

Spheroids in each macrowell condition a shared media pool

Patented design of SP5D plates

The design of the microscopic wells with a hemispherical base is optimised to drive the rapid clusturing of cells into rounded spheroids. A unique nanocoating prevents cells from adhering to the surface. Consistent spheroids are formed, fostering more natural communication between cells.

The SP5D platform is ideal for consistently generating very large numbers of spheroids per plate boosting the statistical relevance of data from patient derived tumour samples. The platform is also ideal for generating pseudo-islets and spheroids for tissue engineering research.
