What are the different types of 3-D culture?
FAQ from Trevigen

The two principal methods for conducting 3-D culture are the top assay and embedded assay. For the top assay, cells are seeded on a thick gel and a thin overlay is applied with the cell culture medium. For the embedded assay, cells are resuspended within a thick gel and the culture media is applied on top. The top assay is easier to setup, to control seeding densities, and to keep cells within one focal plane for analysis.
