Hamilton's new cellhost system for full automation of embryonic stem cell cultures

Nature Methods volume 1, pages 271–272 (2004)Cite this article

Abstract

In pharmaceutical screening and cell biology research, the availability of cells can become a bottleneck in the logistic chain of experiments. Hamilton and Life & Brain have joined their expertise to develop a fully automated system for the culture of primary cells, cell lines and embryonic stem (ES) cells, which provides high-quality cells in large numbers.
