An automated platform for high-throughput stem cell culture and drug screening

13 Oct 2026

This scientific poster presents an automated stem cell culture platform that integrates robotic cell handling, environmental control, and multimodal imaging to support high-throughput differentiation and therapeutic screening workflows.

Learn how the Stem Cell Robot automates culture and maintenance of fibroblasts, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), retinal pigment epithelial cells and retinal organoids while enabling integrated imaging and assay analysis.

Discover how the platform was used for retinal disease research, functional cell characterization, and large-scale drug screening, demonstrating improved scalability, reproducibility, and efficiency for stem cell-based research applications.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines.
