3D Spheroid Culture Technology Trends 2016

ReportsWorldwide has announced the addition of a new report 3D Spheroid Culture Technology Trends 2016 to its growing collection of premium market research reports.

This market report summarizes the results of HTStec's industry-wide global web-based benchmarking survey on three dimensional (3D) spheroid culture technology trends carried out in October 2016.

The survey was initiated by HTStec as part of our ongoing tracking of this rapidly emerging life science marketplace, and to update and extend HTStec's previous report entitled 3D Spheroid Culture Trends (published June 2015).
The questionnaire was compiled to meet the needs of vendors interested in 3D spheroid culture trends.

The objectives were to understand respondent's current interest in, experience of and progress made in applying 3D spheroid culture/generation technologies.

The survey looked at the following aspects of 3D spheroid culture/generation technologies as practiced today (2016) and in a few cases as predicted for the future (2018):
• main application area of interest/activity involving spheroids;
• level of implementation of spheroids into research activities;
• awareness or direct use of approaches currently available to generate/culture spheroids;
• awareness or direct use of commercial technologies/products promoted for 3D spheroid culture/generation/assay;
• preferred type of spheroid culture format;
• type of spheroid culture most are interested in investigating;
• cell types used to generate spheroids;
• how many different cell types are represented in spheroids;
• number of spheroids generated/used per year;
• number of different primary screens performed using spheroids and number of wells to be tested per screen;
• expectations for primary screening using 3D spheroid culture systems versus conventional 2D tissue culture;
• assays types applied to isolated spheroids;
• maximum pricepoints for cell culture microplates that enable spheroid generation;
• annual budget for spheroid culture/generation consumables and its breakdown into component parts;
• vendor/supplier that first comes to mind as the leading player in area of spheroid generation/culture;
• vendors/suppliers from which the majority of the spheroid culture consumable products are purchased;
• level of interest in purchasing assay ready products or 3D spheroid-related services;
• aspects of currently available approaches to spheroid culture/generation which need to be improved;
• specific requirements to transfer spheroids out of their original culture vessel;
• types of detection instruments mainly used to monitor/assess spheroid cultures;
• what respondent's most want to achieve from monitoring/assessing spheroid cultures;
• awareness or direct use of commercial instruments currently being specifically promoted for spheroid imaging;
• whether any of respondent's research necessitates 3D imaging/3D reconstruction of imaged spheroids;
• is 3D imaging/3D reconstruction needed when undertaking primary screening (HTS) against cultured spheroids;
• main criteria for choosing to focus research on spheroids versus other approaches to 3D cell culture;
• level of success achieved with spheroid culture;
• time frame over which spheroid cultures are expected to become the established' 3D culture platform of choice for drug research;
• main priority when selecting a particular 3D model or spheroid technology, assay or application;
• most important resources when seeking technical support on a new 3D spheroid culture technology;
• and any gaps/limitations in existing spheroid culture-related products.

The main questionnaire consisted of 31 mainly multi-choice questions. In addition, there were 7 questions related solely to administration/survey demographics.

The full report provides the data, details of the breakdown of the responses to each question, its segmentation and estimates for the future (2018). It also highlights some interesting differences between the survey groups.
