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.

  CompacT SelecT has been chosen by a number of organisations for large scale expansion of cells, including mesenchymal and embryonic stem cells, for research.
  The CompacT format offers walk-away automation in small footprint system that could be fitted into most laboratories in a space similar to a standard TC hood. Most adherent mammalian cell lines can be easily grow in the system, from standard CHO stable cell lines to embryonic stem cells, with minimal change from the standard manual flask-based processing.
 
  • ITI Life Sciences chose CompacT SelecT to develop a consistent bioprocess for manufacturing high-quality undifferentiated human embryonic stem (hES) cells
  • Stem Cell Sciences (SCS) chose CompacT SelecT to culture several different human and mouse stem cell lines for supply to the world’s top pharmaceutical companies.
