Incucyte® Spheroid Analysis Software Module (Cat. No. 9600-0019)
Analyze growth, viability and invasion of single spheroids in round-bottom, multi-well format or measure multi-spheroids in flat bottom plates to detect changes in growth and viability inside your tissue culture incubator.
Incucyte® Spheroid Analysis Software Overview
The Incucyte® Spheroid Analysis Software Module enables kinetic acquisition and objective assessment of spheroids within a physiologically relevant environment.
The integration of optimized protocols and Incucyte® software enables you to standardize your entire spheroid workflow, from generation, manipulation, and analysis, using imaged-based, label-free or fluorescence measurements. Characterize and assess spheroid growth or invasion and morphology during cultures and probe the effects of treatments through unbiased assessment of size, count and morphology. Incucyte® purpose built software automatically monitors and quantifies changes in two different assays models, depending on your scientific question:
Scaffold-free grown in round-bottom ULA plates
- Single spheroids tumor models to evaluate growth, shrinkage and death in 96- and 384-well formats
- Single spheroid invasion tumor model to quantitate invasive growth and shrinkage in a 96-well format*

Scaffold-based grown in flat bottom plates
- Multi- spheroids (MS) grown on a layer of Matrigel® or embedded in Matrigel® on a base (label-free) to quantify tumor spheroid formation, growth and health in a 96-well format*. Fluorescence image acquisition only available using the MS on a Layer of Matrigel® model.

Figure 2: Representative videos indicating label-free multi-spheroid growth and reveal differential spheroid morphologies over time. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded in media on a top of Matrigel® layer or embedded in Matrigel® on a top of base layer (1K cells/well) and allowed to form multi-spheroids (3 days). Time-lapse videos monitoring spheroid growth over time (0 – 7 days post formation) demonstrate morphological differences between round (MCF-7) and stellate (MDA-MB-231) multi-spheroids.

Unlock Your Productivity
Automatically acquire, analyze, and graph thousands of images from up to six 96- or 384-well plates in parallel and get to answer faster.
Figure 3: Perform robust, reproducible pharmacological analysis in physiologically relevant conditions. MCF-7-Nuclight red multi-spheroids were formed over 3 days prior to 7-day treatment with known cytotoxic compounds. Time-course plate views enable rapid visualization of treatment effects on both spheroid size (Total BF Area) and viability (red FLU Intensity within BF Boundary). Concentration response curves represent area under curve (AUC) analysis of the time-course data 0 - 7 days post-treatment. All compounds caused a concentration dependent inhibition of growth and viability with rank order of potency CMP > CHX > OXA.
