ClinoStar
Stand-alone incubator for growing cells in vivo, generating in vitro models that closely resemble real-world conditions.
Easy to use machine.
3D cell structures
Clinostar is straightforward and easy to use, which makes it a practical option for routine tasks. Setup was simple, and the interface is intuitive, requiring little to no training. It performs reliably and delivers consistent results. While it may not have advanced features, it handles basic functions well and meets expectations for standard lab work. The build quality is decent, and the compact size is convenient for smaller workspaces. Overall, I’m satisfied with the purchase. It’s a solid, no-fuss tool that gets the job done without complications—suitable for users looking for a simple and efficient solution.

The CelVivo ClinoStar has significantly improved your 3D organoid work by enabling long-term, low-shear cultures.
Neuroscience
The CelVivo ClinoStar bioreactor has markedly advanced our 3D organoid workflows. By leveraging clinostat rotation to eliminate shear stress, the ClinoStar enables the long-term culture of our forebrain cortical organoids with enhanced viability and structural fidelity, demonstrated by reduced necrotic cores and well-defined neuroepithelial rosettes. Its compact, user‑friendly design, with six individually controlled axes and live‑feed cameras, facilitates high-throughput, reproducible cultures and remote monitoring via CelVivo Cloud. The system also provides controlled, uniform diffusion of oxygen and nutrients, promoting active media exchange and preventing depletion zones, as is critical for stable, long-term organoid growth that mirrors in vivo development. In our hands, the ClinoStar consistently yields high-quality human cortical organoids with improved cellular heterogeneity and reduced stress markers, enabling more physiologically relevant disease modeling and downstream applications.

This incubator is amazing!!
Chromatin biology and aging
We love the ClinoStars. We have 5 of them; 3 with the hypoxia module. We already published several papers demonstrating that epigenetics and metabolic properties of cells are so much more accurate this way than growing cells in 2D. It is also very easy to use!
