The scientific landscape, besides, strongly requires researchers to correlate biophysical parameters with the readouts of the commonly used\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ein vitro\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;tests. And most importantly, when it comes to culturing 3D cell models as spheroids or organoids, their biophysical properties, such as cellular density and size-dependent mass transport, holds a biological relevance, thereby representing a source of data variability to be considered.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the W8 Physical Cytometer:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EThe\u0026nbsp;W8 Physical Cytometer\u0026nbsp;is the only full automated instrument for the biophysical characterization of 3D sphere-like biological samples, like spheroids and organoids. It covers the range from 50 \u0026micro;m sized small clusters up to larger samples with 500 \u0026micro;m in diameter. The combination of groundbreaking flow-based technology with bright-field image-based analysis provides the user with an entire data set of sample\u0026rsquo;s mass density, weight, and size values, in just few minutes.
