Quantum: Replace cell culture flasks with automated cell culture

Quantum* is an automated cell culture device designed to simplify the open, labor-intensive manual tasks associated with cell culture flasks, helping improve the reproducibility and scalability of your cell culture process to meet your overall manufacturing requirements.

Many successful, forward-looking labs have adopted Quantum, leaving behind the challenges associated with manual methods of cell culture using cell culture flasks. Your lab and your work could benefit, too.

Cell culture is a key step in your process: your results and the measure of your success may rely on the quality of your cells. Could the limitations of manual processes be holding you back?

FLASKS

Labor-intensive, manual process

Possibility of variation between lab personnel and each culture

Numerous open steps through the process

Temperature fluctuations as flasks are moved in and out of the incubator

Manual pipette process to feed cells and remove waste

Cell harvest spans hours/days**

Variable surface area**

Current good manufacturing practice (cGMP)-grade clean room, hood, incubator and storage for flasks

**Dependent on the number and capacity of flasks

Could your lab benefit from automated cell culture?

Automating processes provides several key benefits, as compared to manual processes. The benefits of automation include:

Increase labor efficiency
Reduce cost
Save lab space
Improve quality
Improve consistency

Reinforce cGMPs
Reduce waste
Reduce hands-on events
Reduce likelihood of human errors
Allow for automated data capture, records and reporting
