Automed Systems offers a complete range of solutions for your biotech lab, everything you need from a flask to a bio reactor, from a stirrer to a cell harvester.

Automed reaches the biotechnology market at every level with the highest quality cell culture equipment available.

Primary Cell Preparation

Automed Systems supplies tools to prepare single cells from tissues to large-scale production of cells in stirred vessels. Typically, cellular tissue is derived from sources such as an egg, embryo, animal organ such as a spleen, or plant tissue. Automed Systems tissue grinders reduce excised tissue to primary cells, as well as prepare subcellular components from harvested cell packs. The goal is to create and establish primary cell lines, which can ultimately become a master and/or working cell bank.

Automed Systems trypsinizing flasks are used to further reduce tissue to cellular components. Place tissue in flask , add trypsin and stir the vessel using the Automed Systems Micro-Stir magnetic stirrer . The deep-fluted flask design adds turbulence; a dam below the sidearm retains untrypsinized tissue when decanting. Dissociated cells can then be collected. Trypsinizing flasks are also useful when removing cells from microcarrier beads.

Single cells can then be used to start a seed culture in a flask or multiple flasks . After reaching a specific density, cultures can seed a suspension culture flask or roller bottle for high volume cell production.

Production / Cell Culture

Automed Systems Science Products offers large-scale cell production systems for the culture of mammalian or insect cells. Maximum control of pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, agitation and antifoam is provided by these benchtop systems. Unlike common tissue culture flasks, which cannot provide total environmental control, Automed Systems cell production systems maximize conditions on the bench without the need for an incubator.

The Cell Optimizer System® is a small volume cell culture reactor which incorporates sophisticated control technologies typically found in large production culture systems. The Cell Optimizer System allows determination of cell growth and optimum production conditions prior to large scale culture. Operating parameters can be fine-tuned rapidly in several vessels when working at a scale from 0.7 to 3 liters.

The Overdrive™ culture system vessels hold up to 45 liters and provide production at a lower cost. This system is versatile for suspension or microcarrier cultures and can be combined with controllers and probes. The Mini-Pilot Plant™ bioreactor provides total environmental control with 19 or 45 liter vessels operating on the benchtop. Incubators are eliminated with the innovative heating blanket. Probes, pumps, controllers and optional computer interface are available. Large scale cell production is afforded at a fraction of the cost of comparable bioreactor systems.

Media Preparation

Automed Systems offers a complete line of bottles and caps for safe filling and storage of cell culture media , for the individual cell culturist as well as the industrial media manufacturer (see our Bottles & Accessories and Closures sections). Cell culture media may be safely and accurately delivered with Automed Systems automatic dispensers (see our Liquid Handling section). Automed Systems is your source for complete media preparation systems.
