There are striking differences in morphology and biological response of cells in a 3D environment compared to standard 2D culture, including differentiation, proliferation and drug metabolism. However, adoption of 3D technologies into routine use has been slow because they are technically demanding, labour intensive and can give variable results.
  RAFT has been designed to overcome these issues, and enables researchers to produce complex 3D cell cultures simply and conveniently.
  The RAFT System is based on a novel, patented process using collagen to mimic closely an in vivo environment. The RAFT plate, reagents and protocols together allow multi-cellular 3D cell cultures to be made rapidly and consistently in standard plate formats.

Cell-IQ can be used for a wide range of imaging applications, quality control of growth studies for stem cell colonies, monitoring stem cell differentiation, tracking the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and gene expression studies.

  CompacT SelecT has been widely implemented to provide high quality cellular reagents in assay-ready plates for high throughput screening, lead optimisation and assay development. From standard CHO stable cell lines to embryonic stem cells, most adherent mammalian cell lines can be easily grown in the system, with minimal change from the standard manual flask-based processing.
  HYPERflask and Triple flask processing options can be added to increase the incubation capacity and allow rapid output of bulk cell suspensions. These can be used directly in assay systems or for freezing into cryovials as part of a frozen cell screening strategy.
  The new advanced plating module (APM) provides greater flexibility in plating output options including media changes in standard plates as well as maintenance of transport assay plates such as Caco2.
