CompacT CellBase - Flexible, automated cell culture for the medium throughput laboratory
Flexible, automated cell culture - CompacT CellBase
CompacT CellBase is a flexible, automated cell culture system. It is based on the established SelecT system, which has proven the feasibility, reliability and productivity of automated cell culture in over 40 laboratories around the world.
  CompacT CellBase delivers all of the benefits of automated cell culture in a smaller system suitable for the medium throughput laboratory and offers dramatic improvements in throughput, productivity and quality of outputted cells.
 
Different media formulations can be automatically prepared for each different cell line.
Cell suspension handling - CompacT CellBase uses a disposable 10ml pipette to seed, aspirate and mix.
CompacT CellBase automates
 
  • Maintaining stock cell cultures for multiple projects
  • Expanding cell numbers through the seeding of a number of flasks
  • Harvesting of cells in flasks for off-line processing
  • Pooling of cells from harvested flasks
  • Counting and viability measurement and dilution of cells for subculture
  • Performing chemical transfections of cells
