Traditional cell culture methods often require multiple dishes, plates, or flasks, resulting in a substantial amount of plastic waste. CellRaft® Technology minimizes the use of these consumables by isolating and culturing individual cells on CellRaft Arrays.

CellRaft ArrayConsumables containing thousands of microwells (containing CellRafts) for spatial segregation, imaging, and isolation of single cells, monoclonal colonies, or 3D cultures. vs Limiting Dilution
CellRaft Technology
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.
