Episode 16 – Data acquisition of organoids

Posted: 24 January 2023 | | No comments yet

Tune into this podcast to hear experts discuss imaging and obtaining data from organoids!

Part two of our Organoids Miniseries is now live! In this episode, sponsored by Molecular Devices, we cover the advantages of three-dimensional imaging over two-dimensional and how to obtain quality data from organoids.

This conversation features Judi Wardwell-Swanson, a Senior Scientist at InSphero and Sebastian Peck, a senior product manager for cellular imaging at Molecular Devices.

Key learning points:

  • Examine why 3D organoids are harder to image compared to 2D cell cultures
  • Learn about what type of hardware software is used to image organoids at scale
  • Uncover some advancing imaging techniques that provide detailed data from an organoid.
