3D InSight™ Human Islet Microtissues
Uniform, functionally robust, long-lived - an islet model you can rely on
3D InSight™ Islet Microtissues, produced by reaggregation of dispersed human islet cells, are a standardized alternative to primary human pancreatic islets. They mimic the complex architecture and function of human pancreatic islets while significantly expanding their ex vivo life-span, functional responses and automation compatibility.
Why work with 3D human islet microtissues:
- Eliminate native islet variability using standardized islets, uniform in size, cellular composition and function
- Expand your assay window with an average 16-fold glucose-stimulated insulin secretion for more than 28 days in culture
- Use a physiologically-relevant model that retain native-like tissue architecture, dynamic insulin secretion and proliferative rates
- Stop hand-picking islets and substantially reduce assay-handling time with the convenience of assay-ready and automation compatible format
- The islet microtissues are key to reproducible, reliable, and efficient islet research
