Automated clone selection - Cello
 

Automated clone selection - Cello

  Cello™ is a new automated system for automated clone selection enabling efficient selection of optimal clones to provide cell lines for biologics production and cell based research.
  Cello cultures multiple clones 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.
Cello automates:
 
  • Automated clone selection
  • Cell seeding of transfected cells from bulk supply
  • Media change and re-feed
  • Expansion of cells into fresh wells
  • Enzymatic detachment of adherent cell lines
  • "Cherry picking" cells from individual wells for expansion
  • Harvest of cells or supernatant for output for cell banking or screening
  • Measurement of cell growth
  Cello also manages the complex scheduling and logistics inherent in culturing multiple clones simultaneously. It improves productivity wherever cells are grown in plates, particularly for the generation, maintenance and expansion of stable cell lines.
Cello offers:
 
  • Significant increase in throughput and quality of automated clone selection and production
  • Selection of the best cell lines from many clones
  • Larger cloning experiments, expression systems and experimental conditions
  • Biological diversity in transfected cell populations
  • Reduced timelines for cell line development
Applications include:
  Stable cell line generation for
 
  • Drug discovery
  • Therapeutic proteins
  • Stem cells
  Cell culture and assay assembly for
 
  • ADME testing and transport
  • Permeability testing
  Cello is currently is being used at 5 leading pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies including AstraZeneca, Genmab and Novo supporting their cell line development activities.
