Towards Automation of the Embryonic Stem Cell Test

The Embryonic Stem Cell Test (EST) determines embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of substances. This poster shows the successful adaptation of the traditional manual HD method towards an automation-compatible process using a top-loadable hanging drop culture format (GravityPLUS™). This new platform allows efficient handling of EBs by eliminating time-consuming manual EB formation and transfer within the EST-process.
