What the big companies DON'T want you to know?
Traditional cell culture methods often require multiple dishes, plates, or flasks, resulting in a substantial amount of plastic waste. CellRaftA microscale polystyrene growth surface within an array used to spatially segregate cells/colonies while maintaining shared media access, enabling imaging over time and targeted isolation.® Technology minimizes the use of these consumables by isolating and culturing individual cells on rafts (CellRaft® Arrays).
Incorporating CellRaft Technology into your cell culture workflow reduces costs associated with media and plastics, improves experimental efficiency, and enables optimal resource utilization while ensuring high-quality results. This eco-friendly approach promotes sustainable laboratory practices and contributes to a greener environment.
More Yield – Less Resources
(save on labor, time, media, and plastic)
Using one CellRaft ArrayConsumables containing thousands of microwells (containing CellRafts) for spatial segregation, imaging, and isolation of single cells, monoclonal colonies, or 3D cultures., grew 2,269 single cell-derived clones. To achieve the same number of possible clones, assuming limiting dilutionA statistical cloning approach where cells are diluted to low density to “hopefully” seed one cell per well; commonly used but can be low-efficiency for difficult-to-clone lines. at 10% efficiency, one would need:
- 447 plates for cell seeding
- 854x the media
