| The driving force of the system. It generates the oscillating fluid flow of the cell/medium suspension. It cannot be purchased separately. | A rotating rack for easy and correct positioning of U-CUP disposable bioreactors. It can also be purchased separately. | The central core of the system. It is disposable and it comes with 10x adaptors to fit the specific size of your scaffolds. Scaffolds can also be purchased separately. | It provides all what you need to start your 3D cell cultures. Additional accessories (e.g. forceps, syringes) and testing units are also included. |
The performance of U-CUP has been extensively validated and certified by scientific publications in peer-review journals.
If you are convinced of the benefits that a 3D culture environment can provide,the U-CUP bioreactor is the essential tool to conduct with your experiments.
