Lonza selected as distributor of Raft 3D Cell Culture System

8th July 2015

Lonza has agreed an exclusive deal with TAP Biosystems for the former to distribute the latter's Raft (Real Architecture For 3D Tissue) 3D Cell Culture System.

Using a patented absorber technology to create cell layers in high-density collagen that mimic the in vivo environment, the system is designed to help researchers generate more biologically meaningful data from their cell culture studies.

It is available in a number of formats and is appropriate for analysis using a wide variety of imaging, biochemical and histological techniques, with its easy-to-use design further improving its utility.

When used in combination with Lonza's human primary cells and media solutions, the RAFT 3D Cell Culture System can be used to create physiologically relevant cell culture models for use across drug discovery and research applications.

Lubna Hussain, senior product manager for Lonza Bioscience Solutions, said: "The Raft System is a truly powerful system that offers many benefits and advantages over other 3D platforms due to its novel approach, and our team at Lonza is proud to add it to our portfolio."

This comes after the firm signed a new long-term product supply agreement with Alexion earlier this month to expand its manufacturing capabilities.ADNFCR-8000103-ID-801793735-ADNFCR
