Automated Cell Culture System with Integrated Refrigeration

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking information on automated cell culture systems with integrated refrigeration. The system should be able to perform automated media exchange, feeding, sampling, washing, passaging, differentiation/maturation, and harvesting for mammalian adherent cell cultures. The system should also have a compact benchtop footprint, sterile liquid handling, and be compatible with standard CO₂ incubators. The NIH is looking for vendors who can provide a commercially available automated cell culture system that meets the specified requirements. • The system should be able to perform automated media exchange, feeding, sampling, washing, passaging, differentiation/maturation, and harvesting for mammalian adherent cell cultures. • The system should have a compact benchtop footprint and be compatible with standard CO₂ incubators. • The system should have sterile liquid handling and be compatible with commonly used laboratory consumables. • The system should have programmable, repeatable workflows with minimal operator intervention. • The system should have integrated refrigeration capable of storing at least four reagents within manufacturer-recommended temperature ranges.
