According to a press release, the automated production guarantees consistent quality and an exact reproducibility of cell cultures.
So far, cell reproduction in labs is usually a painstaking manual task. It is time-consuming and there is always the risk the cultures being contaminated. The new model allows labs to operate more quickly, efficiently and more cleanly.

Benchtop device for passage of cell cultures Featured
The German company Innocyte Ltd. in Stuttgart, a spin-off of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, has developed a fully automated desktop device able to take over the automated production of cell cultures. Compared to costly and complex robotic technology, the newly developed device called “split.it” is inexpensive. It will be available from autumn of this year.
