CompacT SelecT - System Overview. Automated cell culture for high quality cells and assay-ready plates, suitable for smaller, medium throughput labs
Multiple cell line maintenance and assay-ready plate production - CompacT SelecT
CompacT SelecT™ is an automated cell culture and assay- ready plating system designed to meet the needs of medium throughput laboratories. It has the capabilities of TAP’s established SelecT cell culture system but with a lower capacity and smaller footprint.
  CompacT SelecT grows cells from multiple cell lines in T-flasks for cell line maintenance and expansion. It can generate assay-ready plates on demand for cell-based screening and assay development.
  Over 10 systems are in use in laboratories across the world - including 5 used for stem cell related research applications.
 
Flasks are automatically loaded and retrieved from the incubator which is monitored for temperature and CO2
The harvested contents of several flasks
are pooled and then will be poured
into a new flask.
