The cell cultivation system that grows with your needs.

The modular system for laboratory-scale cell cultivation

The CELLROLL and CELLSPIN systems are based on a modular assembly concept that allows you to configure and combine the two instruments according to your needs. Using only one control unit it is possible to operate two CELLROLL drive units or two CELLSPIN stirring platforms or a combination of one instrument each. The control unit automatically recognises the type of instrument connected and allows you to independently store ten different cell cultivation programs for each unit.

Designed for a “lifelong” use in CO2-incubators

The control unit contains all sensitive electronic parts and connects via cable to the drive unit, therefore it can be kept outside of the incubator and the electronics are not damaged by the incubator's humidity. The materials used for the CELLROLL drive unit and the CELLSPIN stirring platform are non-corroding and the motor housings are sealed tightly – all this makes sure that a reliable and long-lived system will keep your cells always “on the move”!

For quality conscious cell culture laboratories

Because quality assurance is an integral part of a cell-based manufacturing process, the CELLROLL and CELLSPIN systems offer the means to efficiently monitor and document cell cultivation. Both instruments can be connected to a printer or a PC to log cultivation parameters at specified time intervals and to record all saved culture protocols. Also an interruption of the cultivation process – either due to a power failure or to an accidental disconnection of the control unit – doesn't go unnoticed: the control unit triggers a beeping- alarm and generates an error message.

Optimised for cell cultivation

Successful growth of cells in roller bottles often relies on optimal rolling speed and therefore the CELLROLL allows fine-tuning of the rotation speed. The standard drive unit operates in a speed range from 0.1 to 2 rpm and is adjustable in steps of 0.1 rpm. The faster drive unit rotates the roller bottles with 2 to 6 rpm (adjustable in steps of 0.5 rpm).

To avoid unnecessary shear stress, all the rolls of the instrument are turning on high-quality ball-bearings free of vibrations and are driven by a stepper motor which guarantees a completely smooth rolling start and stop.

Adaptable to specific needs

The modular design of the CELLROLL allows scale-up of bottle capacity from 4 to 16 roller bottles. By using two drive units up to 32 roller bottles can be operated using one control unit only. The customised configuration of CELLROLL increases flexibility and efficiency of the lab.
