Phone vibration motor used to build 3D tumor model for cancer drug testing | Researchers pioneer a $7 DIY device, using a cell phone motor, for high-throughput 3D tumor spheroid creation, revolutionizing anti-cancer drug testing.


Revolutionary $7 DIY device shakes up cancer research, creating uniform tumor spheroids for drug testing using a cell phone motor.

This innovative approach aims to address the challenges of generating uniform tumor spheroids for high-throughput screening of anti-cancer drugs. The newly developed DIY device aims to overcome these limitations, offering a reliable preclinical testing platform for anti-cancer drugs. The DIY device, assembled for less than $7, utilizes a cell phone coin-vibrating motor to generate vibration force.
