High-Throughput 3D Glioblastoma Spheroid Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spheroids were produced using a variation of the liquid-overlay 96-well plate method 52 . A solution of 1% (v/w) agarose (Sigma Aldrich) was prepared in deionized water and autoclaved. After heating up the solution one minute in the microwave, 75 µL was added in each well to form a meniscus on the bottom of the well. After 10 minutes at room temperature, the agarose cooled down and jellified to form a nonadherent round-bottom well. Glioblastoma cells were rinsed with Phosphate Buffer Saline solution (Thermofisher D8537) and detached using 1 mL of 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (1X) (Gibco 25200-056) at 37 °C. The desired quantity of cells was added per well, in a total volume of 150 µL per well. Half of the media was changed every 2-3 days. This method of generating spheroids is reproducible, inexpensive and high-throughput. Indeed, it requires 7 days and only very little material to produce hundreds of spheroids with a similar size exceeding 400 µm. Moreover, spheroids are easy to handle and can be collected and grafted using a standard 1000-µL pipette.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
