The latest development
from The Automation Partnership,
Sonata is designed to automate the
cell culture of mammalian or insect cells
growing in suspension in shake flasks.
Sonata
uses off-the-shelf consumable
items, working with a range
of Corning shake flasks (125ml,
250ml or 1 litre)
Samples
are collected ready for
cell counting and viability
measurement.
Maintenance of cell stocks
Cell line characterisation & selection
Culture optimisation – fed batch
Stability testing
Protein expression
Automation of existing processes using
standard shake flasks
Management of a number of different
experiments in parallel
Unattended operation, including evenings
and weekends
Investigation of a range of cell culture
parameters
Sonata reduces
cycle times through rapid identification
of optimum cell lines and culture conditions.
