Advanced 3D Cell Models for Lab Automation
Integrating advanced 3D cell models, such as organoids and tumoroids, with lab automation technology can streamline workflows, reduce human error, and ensure the reproducibility of handling these complex models. This approach enhances data reliability while enabling efficient high-throughput screening.

Challenges of ECM in laboratory automation
Using traditional animal-based ECM poses the following challenges and limitations that can affect workflow, results, and scalability:
Batch-to-Batch Variability and Reproducibility Issues:
Inconsistent quality between batches leads to unreliable results, making it difficult to standardize automated workflows and high-throughput screening.
Complex Handling Requirements and Incompatibility with Automation:
Animal-based ECMs require low temperature and precise handling and are difficult to integrate with automated systems designed for speed and uniformity.
Ethical, Regulatory, and Contamination Concerns:
The use of animal-derived materials raises ethical, regulatory, and contamination risks, limiting their suitability for pharmaceutical and clinical research.
