CELF™, A fully automated cell culture system on your desk.
CELF™ is the world's first automated cell culture system developed for small- to mid-sized laboratories. Within its small footprint of 70x80cm, it incorporates all the necessary functionality for effortless, automated cell culture at the touch of a button.

01 Designed for weekend cell culture. CELF™ has been designed for weekend cell culture needs. CELF™ is an orchestrated system encompassing a fully automated CO2 incubator, media and trypsin reservoir, precise robotic systems, and biosafety cabinet. Using a quick, intuitive control interface, you can easily schedule a range of cell culture processes. All of the processes are fully automated. With CELF, you can set up your protocol on Friday and come back to newly passaged plates on Monday without any the weekend work.

02 Flexibility with plate types. CELF™ can handle any combination of 100mm dishes, 6 well plates, 12 well plates, and 24 well plates. CELF™ has a six position plate hotel located inside an integrated CO2 incubator. The system is completely flexible. You can use 100mm plates alone, or seed 6 well or 24 well plates from the 100 mm seed plates. Any combination of 6 plates is possible. Not only does CELF™ passage cells, you can also schedule the addition of reagents, such as drugs into the process.

03 Pre-installed HEPA filter system. CELF™ has pre-installed HEPA filter system. HEPA filtered air with laminar flow ensures a clean environment during the cell culture process. Unlike other robotic systems, CELF™ design has eliminated the need to locate heavy instruments inside the Biosafety Cabinet. The filter module of CELF™ is located on top of the instrument for easy maintenance and exchange.

04 Fully automated CO2 incubator. The CO2 incubator installed in the CELF™ system ensures healthy maintenance of your cells. The temperature of the incubator is controlled by the multi-position direct heat technology, providing excellent temperature uniformity and recovery. An IR (infrared) sensor is installed for the sensitive and reliable control of CO2 gas. The six-position shelf was designed for the accommodation of different plate types from 100mm dishes to multi-well plates. Door opening and closing can be controlled either manually or automatically to allow easy access to the plates at any time.

05 Automated media reservoir. The CELF™ system provides fully automated media reservoir system for the heating and cooling of your cell culture reagents. The temperature of the reservoir is accurately controlled by a high capacity peltier system for fast heating (to 37'C) and cooling (to 4'C). The CELF™ reservoir accommodates standard 50ml conical tubes for easy storage of your reagents. There are a total of 6 positions for the 50 ml tubes. Two positions are used for culture media, two positions for PBS, one position for trypsin, and another one position is used for cell dilution. An automatically operating cover system protects your reagents from contamination.

06 Liquid handling. CELF™ has an accurate pipetting system is controlled by a syringe pump. Five ml disposable tip is used for all liquid handling processes. The accuracy of liquid handling is 5% CV at 0.1 ml. The level of reagents is automatically monitored by an ultrasonic liquid level detector installed in CELF™ robotic arm.

07 Automated microscope system. A patented microscope system was installed in CELF™ for the monitoring of cell conditions. CELF™ microscope has two motorized stages, one for the rotation of dish and the other for the auto-focusing. Multipoint imaging is possible using this motorized microscope and the captured image can be saved to an external USB memory drive.

08 Easy operation, just like smart phone. You'll quickly find your way round the user interface for CELF™. The operation of CELF™ system resembles an iPhone or iPad. A wide, 10 inch touch screen display is allows you to easily toggle key individual modules such as HEPA filter, reservoir, and CO2 incubator. Plate selection, scheduling, and protocol setting is extremely easy process just a few touches of the screen. And after generating your protocols, they can be easily stored for later use.
