Overview:
The Cell Care STAR from Hamilton Company is an advanced automation platform designed to streamline routine and complex mammalian cell culture workflows.
It integrates liquid handling, incubation, imaging, and plate storage into a single system, enabling laboratories to perform experiments with minimal manual intervention. Operating within a controlled environment, the system automates key steps such as cell seeding, media exchange, and passaging.
By standardizing these processes, it enhances reproducibility, reduces variability, and supports consistent results across experiments.
Features:
• Automates complete cell culture workflows including seeding, feeding, and passaging
• Integrated incubator for controlled growth conditions
• Built-in imaging system for monitoring cell growth and confluency
• High-capacity plate handling for large-scale experiments
• Reduces manual effort and improves workflow consistency
• Supports long-duration experiments with automated scheduling
• Barcode-based tracking for plates and samples
• User-friendly software for workflow setup and monitoring
• Designed for safe operation in controlled environments
• Reliable performance for routine and advanced workflows
