Biomek ®Cell WorkstationSeedingCellMaintenanceFeedingAn essential prerequisite in high throughputand high content screening , stem cell research,cell therapy, tissue engineering and productionof biopharmaceuticals is the permanent culturingand production of cells.Cell-based assays require cells of consistent qualityto reduce inter-assay variability.Production cell lines must be optimized andcontinuously monitored for consistent quality oftheir products.PassagingCellExpansionHarvestingCountingCountingPlatingCellProductionPoolingMaintaining living cells in continuous cultureand managing multiple cell lines with differentrequirements in parallel is not an easy task.Cell culture is a complex process consisting ofmultiple tasks including cell seeding, growing, harvesting,counting and passaging. Processes mayrun for weeks or months and thus are demandingspecifically in terms of maintaining sterilityand tracking all relevant information.Integrated Biomek ® Workstations for research andproduction have been developed to specificallyaddress automation of cell culture media optimization,hybridoma selection, production cell line optimizationand fully automated monoclonal antibody production.Biomek ® Cell Workstation is the latest additionto this range of cellular systems and was developedin cooperation between Celisca and Beckman Coulter.
Process toSolutionSoftware• SAMI ® Process Managementsoftware to organize paralleland interleaved processes.Includes a calendar view tosimplify laboratory resourcemanagement.Biomek ® Cell Workstation enables fully automated cell seeding,growth rate monitoring and quality control, cell harvesting andplating into microtiter plates.Different cell lines can be cultured in parallel without user interventionover days, weeks or even months.
