Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Cancer Research
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) spheroid models offer superior physiological relevance for cancer research compared to 2D cultures.
  • Current methods for spheroid production are often low-throughput and lack consistency, limiting their use in drug screening.
  • Automated systems are needed to improve the efficiency and uniformity of spheroid generation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an automated high-throughput platform for spheroid selection, fabrication, and sorting (SFSS).
  • To produce uniform gelatine-encapsulated spheroids (GESs) with high efficiency and accuracy.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the SFSS for drug screening applications.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of advanced imaging, analysis, photo-triggered fabrication, and microfluidic sorting.
  • Precise control over spheroid size, shape, and viability during production.
  • High-throughput generation and sorting of gelatine-encapsulated spheroids.

Main Results:

  • The SFSS produced over 50 uniform GESs with consistent size and circularity in 30 minutes.
  • Achieved over 97% sorting accuracy while maintaining cell viability and structural integrity.
  • Demonstrated the successful application of GESs in drug screening assays.

Conclusions:

  • The automated SFSS significantly enhances the efficiency of generating uniform 3D spheroids.
  • This platform facilitates the application of spheroids in drug development and cancer research.
  • The SFSS enables more physiologically relevant investigations of complex biological systems and drug responses.
