About
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) play a vital role in advancing biomedical research, particularly in disease modeling, regenerative medicine, and personalized therapeutics. Despite their potential, hiPSC workflows are often challenged by variability, scalability limitations, and the need for precise and consistent handling. The Formulatrix® Cellmatic offers a fully automated system designed to streamline cell culture processes from start to finish.
By integrating liquid handlers and other supporting instruments within a controlled and sterile environment, the system enables reliable execution of hiPSC maintenance (media exchange and imaging), expansion (passaging and plating), and differentiation with minimal manual intervention. Through intelligent scheduling and standardized workflows, the Cellmatic enhances reproducibility, reduces variability, and supports high-throughput experimentation. This approach allows researchers to focus on critical scientific work while ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes across applications.
This webinar explores how the Cellmatic optimizes hiPSC workflows in practice, demonstrates its contamination mitigation strategies, and showcases its effectiveness for long-term cell culture maintenance, enabling researchers to maintain consistent, viable populations while maximizing productivity.
Why Attend?
- Eliminate Variability in hiPSC Culture: Learn how the Cellmatic standardizes media exchange, passaging, and plating to ensure consistent, reproducible results across your experiments
- Understand Cellmatic's Contamination Mitigation Approach: Explore the engineering principles and workflow design features built into the Cellmatic to protect your cultures within a fully sterile, automated environment
- Scale hiPSC Expansion and Differentiation with Confidence: Understand how intelligent scheduling enables high-throughput hiPSC expansion and differentiation without sacrificing cell quality or reproducibility
- Reclaim Researcher Time: See how full end-to-end automation reduces hands-on workload and frees your team to focus on critical scientific decisions
Who Should Attend?
Cell biologists, stem cell researchers, principal investigators, lab managers, and automation specialists working in disease modeling, regenerative medicine, drug discovery, or cell therapy; anyone looking to improve the consistency, scalability, and efficiency of their hiPSC culture workflows.

About the Speaker
Ellen Gualtieri received her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Purdue University in 2010 and began working at Formulatrix shortly thereafter. Initially, Ellen led the technology transfer of her Ph.D. work involving nonlinear optical imaging of protein crystals to Formulatrix and was the product manager of SONICC® and the Rock Imager® product line for 5 years. Since then, Ellen has led the advent of a Cell Culture Automation product suite to facilitate routine cell culture growth and differentiation protocols. As the senior product manager, Ellen works directly with both end users and project engineers to match the scientific needs with the engineering requirements and specifications.
