Many years of experience (e.g. in EU projects and industrial collaboration) in the application of automated pipetting platforms, bioreactors and freezing systems allow the project center SPT an efficient and rapid transfer of specific cell-biological protocols in the field of 2D to 3D cultivation of human stem cells to customer-specific systems. A focus here is on the upscaling of the stem cell expansion, differentiation and cryopreservation.
Services of the project center:
- Development of high-throughput production processes for stem cell workflows
- Development and adaptation of protocols (expansion, differentiation)
- Evaluation of demonstrators/prototypes with stem cells
- Process automation and parallelization
