Happy Cell® ASM is a unique, new, low-viscosity, low-density, general-purpose cell culture reagent that permanently suspends cells. Designed for drug discovery and biomedical research, it allows easy labelling, washing and dosing of cells. This media can revolutionise cell culture and 3D by holding a layer of cells in suspension, enabling more natural morphology and spheroid formation. The buoyancy in the media can be easily removed for passaging, splitting and media changes.
Happy Cell® ASM is designed to create a supportive environment for cells to grow and thrive in three dimensions (3D). Here’s what it does:
- Suspends Cells: It keeps cells suspended in a liquid matrix, preventing them from settling at the bottom of the culture dish. This suspension is crucial for forming 3D structures like spheroids and organoids.
- Supports 3D Growth: Maintaining cells in suspension allows them to interact more naturally, mimicking the conditions found in the human body. This is particularly useful for studying complex cell behaviours and interactions.
- Enhances Viability: The product helps maintain cell viability and function over extended periods, essential for long-term experiments and studies.
- Facilitates Imaging: Its transparency to visible light makes it suitable for various imaging techniques, allowing researchers to observe and analyse cell growth and behaviour in real-time.
- Animal-Free: Being free of animal-derived components reduces variability and the ethical concerns associated with animal products.
Key Features
- Cost-effective: Provides a high-quality 3D cell culture environment without breaking the budget.
- Scalable: Suitable for both small-scale laboratory research and large-scale industrial applications.
- Rapidly Deployable: Ready-to-use format ensures quick setup and minimal preparation time.
- Easy to Use: Simplifies the 3D cell culture process, making it accessible to all laboratory personnel.
Innovative Polymer Suspension System
Happy Cell® ASM’s advanced polymer suspension system is derived from modified natural polymers. This system supports robust 3D cell growth while maintaining ease of use. The suspension can be inactivated when necessary, allowing for seamless imaging or recovery of cells for further analysis.
