Automated shake flask processing

Automated Shake Flask Processing - Sonata 'System Overview'

New automated shake flask processing technology designed to automated cell culture of mammalian growing in suspension in shake flasks.

The latest development from The Automation Partnership, Sonata enables automated shake flask processing and the automated cell culture of mammalian or insect cells growing in suspension in shake flasks.

Sonata can incubate and process
over 200 shake flasks concurrently

The system is pre-programmed with your automated shake flask processes

Sonata automates:

Automated shake flask processing
Maintenance of cell stocks
Cell line characterisation & selection
Culture optimisation – fed batch
Stability testing
Protein expression

Sonata offers:

Automation of existing processes using standard shake flasks
Automated cell line process development
Management of a number of different experiments in parallel
Unattended operation, including evenings and weekends
Investigation of a range of cell culture parameters

Sonata reduces cycle times through rapid identification of optimum clones and culture conditions.

Applications include:

Sonata, TAP’s latest development is optimised to grow suspension cultures in shake flasks for expansion of mammalian and insect cells. Sonata can be used to automate the manual shake flask processes that are used for cell line development to select cell lines and optimise culture parameters prior to use in bioreactors. The system is capable of fully automating multiple cell line development experiments such as determining growth curves, optimal feeding strategies and stability studies.
