Stem cell culturing

Stem cells hold great promise in research and regenerative medicine.
However, many applications are hampered by poor availability of high quality, well-defined stem cells due to the fact that culturing these cells is highly dependent on the operator. Automation of processing steps helps reduce variability, leading to more reproducible stem cell production and improved control of differentiation protocols.

Stem cell research is in continual flux, and Tecan’s solutions offer the flexibility you need to adjust to the changing requirements of the field.

Tecan’s stem cell solutions offer:

• Automated cell isolation, integrating liquid handling workstations with automated optical detection tools, colony pickers and centrifugation modules
• Cell expansion in plates, tubes or automation-friendly cell culture flasks
• Cell plating using an array of liquid handling options
• Software and hardware systems for stem cell differentiation which guarantee repeatable, defined timings for addition of growth factors, cytokines and other media additives
• Separation of feeder cells from stem cells, e.g. using insert plates
• Detection devices to study gene expression during cell differentiation, such as the Infinite® 200 microplate reader with NanoQuant Plate™ designed for low volume applications
