SLAS2026 Recap: Advancing Automated 3D Cell Culture and Organoid Workflows
Inside SLAS2026: Key Highlights, Connections, and Innovations
SLAS2026 was an energizing week of scientific exchange, meaningful conversations, and hands-on demonstrations for the team at TheWell Bioscience. The event offered an invaluable opportunity to connect with researchers and partners, explore the evolving needs in automated 3D cell culture and organoid research, and showcase how TheWell’s innovative solutions enable more consistent, scalable, and reproducible workflows.
At the event, TheWell Bioscience highlighted its end-to-end, xeno-free 3D cell culture platform designed for laboratory automation. This platform supports robotic liquid handling and high-throughput screening with room-temperature-stable VitroGel® hydrogels, fully defined RocketCell™ media, and surface-engineered VitroPrime™ cultureware, delivering a seamless workflow for advanced 3D biology applications.
Key Highlight: The Launch of VitroPrime™ 3D Culture and Imaging Plate
A premium 3D cell culture plate featuring a unique media-exchange channel and “sample locking” technology, combined with a premium ultra-clear cover-glass bottom for a zero-disruption 3D cell culture workflow.
Features:
- In-plate workflow eliminating sample transfer between culture, staining, and imaging
- Dedicated lateral media-exchange channel enabling passive, disturbance-free diffusion
- Anti-floating and anti-rotation micro-features for positional stability of 3D constructs
- Ultra-clear cover-glass bottom optimized for high-resolution and confocal imaging
- Compatibility with automated liquid-handling systems and high-throughput screening platforms
