Title ”Take your real-time metabolic analysis to the next level. From 2D to 3D with the Seahorse XF FLEX analyzer”
All living cells need energy to survive, grow, and respond to their environment. Understanding how cells produce and use that energy is key to advancing research in areas like cancer, drug development, and regenerative medicine. The Agilent Seahorse XF Analyzers are tools that allow scientists to measure cellular energy use in real time without adding dyes. Traditionally, these tests were done on flat, two-dimensional (2D) cell layers, but real tissues are three-dimensional (3D). The new Agilent Seahorse XF Flex Analyzer offers a robust solution by enabling real-time, label-free quantification of key metabolic parameters including the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in 3D samples. Using 3D cell models, such as spheroids or organoids, gives a more realistic view of how cells behave in the body. In this talk, we will explain how the Seahorse XF Flex Analyzer can measure energy production in these 3D samples, what makes it unique in the market, and why these new methods are helping scientists better understand how cells respond to stress, disease, and treatment.
