Fig. 2From: Live-cell calcium imaging of adherent and non-adherent GL261 cells reveals phenotype-dependent differences in drug responsesImmobilizing non-adherent GL261 cell neurospheres in low melting point agarose (LMPA) for live-cell fluorescent (calcium) imaging. a A 20 μL droplet containing suspended cells was applied to the bottom of the imaging 8-well chamber slide. b 20 μL of LMPA was placed on top of this droplet. LMPA is liquid at 37 °C (culture temperature of the cells) but solidifies upon cooling to 26–30 °C (room temperature at which imaging is performed). c Extracellular solution is placed on top of cells and LMPA. Test compounds can be delivered to the extracellular solution without disturbing cells, and solutes diffuse freely through the LMPABack to article page
