Cell line production and high throughput clone selection - Cello

  Cello™ is a new automated cell line production system for mammalian cell culture in plates, and enables efficient selection of optimal clones and cell lines.
  Cello cultures multiple cell lines in parallel, from seeding through expansion and sub-cloning. The cell line production 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:
 
  • Cell line production and high throughput 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 cell lines simultaneously. It improves cell line production and 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 clone 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 being implemented at 3 leading pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies.
