Predictable Cell Culture. Confident Decisions.

Cell Care FLASK removes repetitive T-Flask maintenance from your bench. Automated feeding, passaging, and harvesting reduce variability and frees your team from routine handling, delivering consistent cultures and reliable results.

Cell Culture as a Time-Intensive Routine 

Cell culture is the foundation of your research, yet much of the day is spent on repetitive maintenance. Media exchange, passaging, and routine handling consume skilled time that could be invested in experimental design and data interpretation. As the number of parallel cell lines increases, so does operational complexity.

Reproducibility Under Pressure 

Even carefully followed protocols can produce variable outcomes. Small differences in timing, detachment, or seeding accumulate across passages. When results change, it becomes difficult to distinguish between true biological effects and inconsistencies in execution.

Sterility as a Daily Risk 

Avoiding contamination remains the highest priority in every lab. Manual transfers under laminar airflow require constant focus, especially when trained personnel are limited.

Standardizing Cell Culture by Design 

Cell Care FLASK standardizes T-Flask maintenance of adherent and suspension cell culture in T175 and Triple Flasks within a closed, controlled environment, reducing operator variability while protecting sterility by design. Its MagPearl technology enables sterile operation without laminar airflow while maintaining a compact instrument footprint that fits seamlessly into cell culture laboratories.

Featured Technologies
  • Liquid Handling Technology
    MagPearl Closure System

    Sterility through Magnetic Coupling

    The MagPearl closure technology enables sterile fluid transfer along the entire fluid path, from tubing connections to the T-Flask interface, through magnetically actuated valves. By eliminating open fluid paths and minimizing mechanical contact points, the system maintains a closed liquid handling environment during routine cell culture operations. This design enables sterile processing and reliable liquid transfer without the need for laminar airflow. 

  • Cell Processing
    Swivel Unit

    Scientist-Inspired Motion

    The Swivel Unit securely clamps T-Flasks and Triple Flasks, establishing a stable and closed handling interface during automated processing. The motion system is designed to replicate familiar manual handling patterns used by cell biologists. 
    Gentle liquid addition protects adherent cell layers during media exchange, while controlled, scientist-inspired mixing and swivel movements support efficient cell detachment during passaging. This combination enables reliable and reproducible flask handling across routine cell culture workflows. 

  • Cell Processing
    Separation Structure

    Gentle Cell Dissociation for Homogeneous Seeding

    The separation structure is integrated within the transfer tube between two Swivel Units. During cell transfer, mechanical forces gently dissociate cell aggregates into single cells without compromising cell viability. 
    This process generates a homogeneous cell suspension, enabling consistent cell distribution during seeding of new target flasks. 

Automated feeding, passaging, and harvesting can free up to 2–2.5 hours per run, allowing scientists to focus on experimental design and high-value research tasks.

Controlled liquid transfer, precise swivel motion, and defined process parameters ensure repeatable execution, improving reliability across users, days, and shifts. 

A chemically decontaminated, closed fluidic system enables sterile processing without requiring routine handling inside a biosafety cabinet.

A dedicated shuttle system moves barcoded T-Flasks between modules without adapters, ensuring traceability and preventing sample mix-ups throughout the workflow.

T-Flasks are processed directly within the Swivel Unit through a closed fluidic system, eliminating robotic handling steps and enabling a compact system footprint with reduced complexity.
