Automated cell culture - TAP systems in focus

 

Automated cell culture systems from The Automation Partnership offer improved productivity and quality of cell lines without process change. Our systems are used across a range of research and GMP applications.

Automated cell culture for the medium throughput laboratory - CompacT SelecT
  CompacT SelecT offers all of the benefits of automated cell culture in a smaller system ideal for the medium throughput cell culture laboratory.
  CompacT SelecT automates:
 
  • Expansion and maintenance of multiple cell lines
  • Sub culturing
  • Expanding cell numbers through the seeding of a number of flasks
  • Transient transfection
 
Automated cell culture for screening - SelecT
  SelecT is the leading automated cell culture system for multiple cell-lines and assay-ready plate production, with over 25 installations world-wide. It improves the speed, accuracy and consistency of cells generated and fully automates manual cell culture methods.
 
  • Automated cell culture lines are maintained and expanded in T-175 flasks.
  • The system design ensures that there is no cross contamination even when many cell lines (up to 182) are cultured in parallel.
  • Cells can be harvested, counted and seeded without operator intervention - at any time, day or night, to help optimise screening productivity.
 
High throughput clone maintenance & selection - Cello
  Cello™, a new automated cell culture system for mammalian cell culture in plates, enables efficient selection of optimal clones and cell lines.
 
  • Cello cultures multiple cell lines in parallel, from seeding through expansion and sub-cloning.
  • The system provides the throughput and capacity needed to support several projects running in parallel, with minimal operator involvement
  • Cello cultures both adherent and non-adherent cell lines, growing
    in 384, 96, 24 and 6-well plates.
 
High throughput protein expression, proteins for structure determination - Piccolo
  Piccolo™ is a fully automated cell culture system for the rapid optimisation of recombinant protein production in microbial or insect cells.
 
  • The system has been designed in conjunction with a consortium of 3 leading global pharmaceutical companiesand
  • Flexibility is offered to vary and control a wide range of protein culture parameters independently and conduct experiments in parallel.

Automated cell culture on a large-scale with production in roller bottles and T-flasks - Cellmate
  Cellmate is an established automated cell culture system that fully automates all the processes needed to culture cells in roller bottles and T-flasks. It takes automated cell culture processing from the lab bench to high volume production without process change.
  The latest generation of Cellmate is supplied with software to support the validation of the system, if used in processes that require compliance with a 21 CFR Part 11.
