Simplify Cell Feeding and Plating with a Smarter
Plate Washer Solution: The Reagent Exchanger

Abstract

Manual cell feeding and plating remains a labor-intensive and error-prone task in many laboratories, often resulting in inconsistencies across experiments and increased risk of contamination. Variability in aspiration and dispensing techniques can lead to uneven nutrient distribution or mechanical stress on adherent cells, which can compromise cell viability and experimental outcomes. These challenges are amplified in high-throughput environments or long-term studies where consistent culture conditions are critical. The need for a standardized, reproducible, and gentle method for cell feeding and plating has become increasingly apparent in both research and industrial settings.

Reagent Exchange

In this webinar, we introduce the Reagent Exchanger (RX), an automated plate washer capable of addressing the demands of cell culture workflows. Engineered with precise control over aspiration and dispensing, the system ensures minimal shear stress and consistent media exchange and plating across all wells.  The ability to tilt plates and high-throughput aspirator ensure efficient media removal and replacement, eliminating dead volume and reducing manual intervention.  Automated cleaning sequences with dedicated wash reagents always plumbed in ensure no cross contamination or clogging of the liquid lines. 

 

Seamlessly integrable into automation platforms, this solution not only reduces hands-on time and operator variability but also enhances the reproducibility of experiments involving sensitive cell types such as stem cells and primary cell cultures.
