Scale advanced 3D cell culture workflows with automated liquid handling - SelectScience eBook

Advanced cell culture models, including 3D cell cultures, hydrogels, organoids, and iPSC-derived cultures, provide more physiologically relevant results than traditional 2D models. However, routine processes such as matrix preparation, media exchange, cell feeding, and sample collection can be difficult to perform consistently, introducing variability and impacting experimental outcomes.

As labs adopt more standardized and automated cell culture workflows, liquid handling becomes essential for improving reproducibility, efficiency, and throughput. This is especially important when working with sensitive cell cultures, viscous matrices, and temperature-sensitive reagents.

In this SelectScience eBook, discover how INTEGRA Biosciences' automated liquid handling solutions help streamline advanced cell culture workflows, supporting reproducible handling of 3D cultures, organoids, stem cells, and iPSC-derived models while enabling consistent media exchange, cell maintenance, and sample collection at scale.

Download this SelectScience liquid handling guide to explore how to:

Automate media exchange and sample collection
Standardize matrix preparation
Miniaturize library preparation
Extend gentle automation to sensitive cell workflows

VOYAGER Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipettes
INTEGRA Biosciences
The VOYAGER electronic pipettes enable users to change the tip spacing electronically with the push of a button. Up to three different tip spacings from 4.5 mm to 33 mm can be set and saved. Accelerate reformatting of plates, e.g. 96 well plates to 384 well plates, transfers from racked tubes into microplates or filling pockets of Agarose gels. The VOYAGER electronic pipettes feature a colour display and an intuitive touch wheel user interface. This enables quickest volume changes and easy, ergonomic modification of pipetting parameters. Ten predefined protocols are available, such as Repeat Dispense, Serial Dilute, Sample Mix. In addition, up to 20 customized protocols can be created and stored on the pipette. VOYAGER Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipette Features & Benefits: Electronically adjustable tip spacing accelerates plate reformatting and sample transfers between different lab ware formats. Unique tip fitting design ensures that tips snap into place and will not accidently fall off. GripTips attach the same way each and every time to enable precise touching off. Intuitive touch wheel interface for rapid volume setting and easy programming. Available Models: 4-channel 6-channel 8-channel 12-channel
