Equipment
The latest technology to derive, characterise and validate 3D cultures.
Each of the three facility nodes based in NSWOIC carry cutting-edge instruments to deliver scalable results projects that utilise organoids. Our range of automated equipment streamlines culture derivation and drug screening timelines without affecting the viability of expensive stem cell lines and organoids.
