3D cell culture bioreactor CERO 3D

The CERO 3D incubator and bioreactor from OMNI Life Science (OLS) utilises unique 3D cell culture technology to boost your stem cell, spheroid, organoid and tissue research. Offering improved maturation with no embedding substrate required, the CERO 3D significantly reduces apoptosis and necrosis resulting in the highest levels of viability and homogeneity. 

How does the CERO 3D work?
The CERO 3D creates the optimal cell culture environment by monitoring and controlling temperature, pH and CO2 levels. Containing 1 to 4 individually controlled CEROtubes, each with a volume up to 50 ml, provide the highest biomass yields in a standardised and reproducible conditions, with minimal handling requirements. CEROtubes feature small fins and a flat bottom to enable gentle cultivation conditions with reduced shear stress on your cells.

Benefits of using the CERO 3DCERO
• Temperature, pH and CO2 levels monitored and controlled
• Improved viability and maturation
• Standardised and reproducible conditions maintained
• No embedding substrate required
• Significantly reduce apoptosis and necrosis
• No shear force stress inflicted on cells
• Suitable for long-term cultivation for >1 year

CERO 3D applications

  • Cardiac tissue model - beating cardiac bodies 

The expansion of pluripotent stem cells and subsequent cardiac differentiation using the CERO 3D results in a higher cell quality, homogeneity and yield compared to traditional orbital shakers. Find out more about this featured application.

  • Pluripotent stem cells

The CERO provides a solution for scale-up and automation platforms, simplification and cost reduction of stem cell expansion projects, cell-based drug discovery, toxicity testing and regenerative medicine.

  • Hepatitis virus research model - spheroids

Long-term 3D dimensional cell culture holds great promise for disease modelling and drug discover, however many scientists struggle with technical limitations when working with spheroids in long-term culture. The CERO provides revolutionary technology to enable scientists to perform experiments they were not able to do before.

  • Organoids as tumour tissue model

The CERO offers an efficient and standardised method to generate and maintain high yields of homogeneous organoids for use as tools in cancer research.

HE staining of Gastric organoids (2a) showing single layer of epithelia cells composed by the different cell types found in the stomach as seen in the PCR results (2b): expression of gastric mucins MUC5AC and MUC6, trefoil factors and pepsinogen, for instance. There are also stem cells markers like Lgr5 and Sox2.
