Fluid Motion Technology

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. 

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. 

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.
