Automated cell culture system for ipscs
Streamline your stem cell culture operations with a system that automates seeding, differentiation, and harvesting, minimizing human error while boosting reliability and throughput in your workflows.
Automates and Standardizes Cell Culture Workflows
Emmet from Unicorn Biotechnologies is an innovative, automated benchtop cell culture system designed to eliminate human error in stem cell and regenerative medicine applications. It integrates critical processes such as seeding, media exchange, perfusion, and differentiation through a no-code, easy-to-program interface. With its ability to handle up to 18 cell lines in parallel, Emmet supports the production of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, neural cells, and mesenchymal-based tissue grafts. Its onboard fluidic system ensures precise reagent handling, while metabolic sensing provides real-time process monitoring. Emmet’s compact design fits a lab bench space of less than 1m², significantly reducing manual labor by over 80%. Fully compatible with anchorage-dependent cell lines, it also offers flexibility for certain suspension-adapted protocols. Emmet’s intuitive no-code protocol builder allows for the seamless transition from development to operational deployment without needing programming expertise.
