RCCS features:

Ability to co-culture multiple cell types in a 3D spheroid morphology
Can be used with or without scaffolds to generate 3D cell models
Low shear force in the rotating vessel (low turbulence) allows spheroid growth
High mass transfer of nutrients in media prevents cell death within spheroid core
Ability to vary rotation speed with tachometer
