Hamilton's CellHost system automates all typical cell maintenance processes in SBS standard cell culture plates. Plate agitation and plate tilting are perfectly mimicked by analogous robotic movements. The CellHost system is biologically validated for use with many cell types, including difficult to handle embryonic stem cells. The CellHost is free of tubing, thus significantly reducing the risk of contamination.
