The invention relates to an integrated cultivation and measurement device for label-free detection and classification of cellular alterations, in particular for generation and characterisation of cell-spheroids and monitoring the condition of the cell-spheroids in real time, comprising
a) a mounting device for a cultivation chamber plate,
b) an amplifier board linked with the contacts for the microelectrodes in the mounting device,
c) a rotary shaker, on which the amplifier board and the mounting device for the cultivation chamber plate are placed, and
d) a control unit, that is linked with the amplifier board and the rotary shaker, wherein the control unit allows recording, analyzing of data and controlling of the movement of the rotary shaker. The cultivation chamber plate has several culture reservoirs, wherein the bottom of each culture reservoir forms a microcavity and each microcavity features microelectrodes on the microcavity walls. The mounting device has contacts for the microelectrodes. The invention advantageously allows the automated generation, cultivation and characterisation of spheroids, as well as the cultivation and characterisation of tissue probes. |
