GlossaryHanging Drop Culture

suspends cells in a liquid drop for microscopic observation

The Hanging Drop Culture is a laboratory technique used to study living cells, such as bacteria or hair follicle cells, in a drop of liquid suspended from a coverslip. This method allows for the observation of cell behavior and interactions in a more natural, three-dimensional environment compared to traditional flat cultures.
