RASTRUM™ is built for 3D cell biology, accelerating drug discovery and biomedical research with the power of digital bioprinting.
RASTRUM™ Experience
A simple platform to create 3D cell models in standard well plates that are compatible with your existing experimental workflow.
Select
Select from our library of proprietary RASTRUM™ Matrices and 3D Cell Models, without having to waste time with 3D modelling or hydrogel engineering.
Choose a suitable matrix
from our library of validated matrices
Pick the 3D cell model
to suit your research question.
Define a platemap
to suit your experimental workflow.
Incredibly easy and automated printing workflow to create your 3D Cell Model efficiently and reproducibly.
Auto-generated protocol
lets you execute with confidence, with no need to tweak printing parameters.
Plug and play printing
allows you to resuspend your cell pellet in bioink, add it to the RASTRUM™ Cartridge and press play to print.
Automated cleaning
and sterilisation pre and post-print means you can get back to work faster.
Use
Printed 3D Cell Models are compatible with standard culture and downstream analysis workflows.
Incubate
immediately post-print and cultivate with manual or automated media changes.
Interrogate
your 3D culture by standard imaging or assay techniques - the hydrogel matrix won’t interfere.
Cell extraction and analysis
is possible by harvesting matured cell constructs from the printed 3D Cell Model.
