The Scaffold-Free 3D Cell Culture Platform
The 3D Petri Dish® enables researchers to create hundreds of uniform spheroids, organoids, and microtissues in a single pipetting step — no synthetic scaffolds, no gels, no animal products.
Why Researchers Choose the 3D Petri Dish®
Uniform Spheroids
Hundreds of identically sized spheroids formed in one pipetting step for reproducible, high-throughput experiments.
Scaffold-Free
Cell-to-cell adhesion drives natural self-assembly. No synthetic scaffolds to alter cell physiology or confound results.
Reusable & Affordable
Autoclavable micro-molds fit standard 12- and 24-well dishes. Save thousands compared to consumable alternatives.
Imaging-Ready
Spheroids settle on the same optical plane for easy, high-content microscopy without repositioning.

The 3D Cell Culture Technology
The 3D Petri Dish® is the natural 3D cell culture environment that is scaffold-free and maximizes cell-to-cell interactions. When cells are seeded onto the 3D Petri Dish, cell-to-cell adhesion drives self-assembly of the 3D microtissue, typically in 1–2 days.
