Automated Generation of 3D iPSC-Based Cardiac Microtissues for High-Throughput Calcium Transient Screening​

Written by Ncardia Stem Cell Experts | March 17, 2026

This poster presents Ncardia’s automated platform for generating human iPSC-derived 3D cardiac microtissues designed for physiologically relevant and scalable cardiac screening.

The system combines ventricular cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and cardiac fibroblasts to create multicellular cardiac tissues suitable for high-throughput calcium transient assays and disease modeling

  •  A robotic workflow that assembles and maintains cardiac microtissues in 384-well format, enabling scalable high-throughput screening 

  • Calcium transient assays capturing pharmacological responses to compounds such as isoproterenol and nifedipine, demonstrating physiologically relevant cardiac readouts

  • Modeling of ischemia–reperfusion physiology through real-time oxygen consumption measurements in cardiac microtissues

  • Disease modeling using CPVT iPSC-derived microtissues, supporting automated screening of ~2,000 compounds with a median Z′-factor of 0.67 and 97 identified hits
