Integrating cell viability analysis into experimental design

The Automation Partnership (TAP), a leader in the design and development of innovative automation for life science applications, is has announced its new micro bioreactor system (ambr) is now available with integrated Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL Cell Viability Analyser.

This new option on the ambr workstation, available with 24 or 48 disposable bioreactors, uses a fully integrated Vi-CELL Cell Viability Analyser to automate on-line measurement of viable cell number (VCN) and cell viability, thus allowing daily cell counts without the need for manual intervention. The system uses sterile, disposable tips to transfer cell suspensions to the counter and includes the ability to dilute cells prior to measurement thus minimising culture volumes used and allowing counts of dense cell suspensions.

Biosafety cabinet for automated tube filling in any laboratory

The Automation Partnership (TAP), a leader in the design and development of innovative automation for life science applications, today introduced its new mobile class II biological safety cabinet. The cabinet, configured specifically for the Fill-It automated tube filling system, will ensure scientists can conveniently create a safe, aseptic environment to use Fill-It in different laboratories within their facility.
