Build complex 3D tissue models from collagen in less than 1 hour.

RAFT (Real Architecture for 3D Tissue) is a new system to enable scientists to create complex 3D tissue models from collagen, in a convenient, simple-to-use format.  
  
Developed by TAP in collaboration with leading tissue engineering academics, RAFT combines a novel patented process with a workstation and a range of consumables for making multi-cellular 3D tissue models rapidly, simply and reproducibly.

Features of RAFT

RAFT Automates  

  • Rapidly produces 3D tissue models (less than 1 hour)  
  • Uses collagen (the major component of extracellular matrix) - the ideal material for forming 3D tissue models  
  • Enables up to 12, 24 or 96 tissue models to be produced simultaneously  
  • Offers a choice of consumable formats – tissues can be made in standard wells or permeable membrane inserts for barrier assays or culture at an air/liquid interface  
  • Supports complex cell co-culture, the tissue surface can be embossed with topology to mimic cells’ microenvironment, and then a different cell type cultured on the tissue surface  

RAFT Offers  

  • Creates a more realistic, ‘natural environment’ for scientists to study complex cell behaviour  
  • Allows scientists to work with a wide range of complex 3D tissue models  
  • Enables production of consistent, reproducible 3D tissue models using simple equipment  
  • Makes efficient use of scarce primary cells and maintains differentiated phenotype  
  • Improves lab productivity, with minimal time needed to produce multiple tissues for multiple experiments
