The Cydem VT platform integrates multiple technologies to support the cultivation and monitoring of CHO cells in cell line development. At the core of the system is a bioreactor designed for cell culture experiments, enabling 96 parallel cultivations in shaken microtiter plates with a working volume of up to 5 mL. Surrounding the bioreactor are two key analytical modules:the Titer module and Cell Health module, which provide vital insights into the status of the cultures. These modules are housed within a liquid handler that automates essential liquid handling tasks, such as culture feeding and pH adjustments, allowing for longer walk-away times. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences supplies all necessary reagents and consumables in specialized experiment kits to facilitate smooth and efficient setup.
