Features and Benefits:
The BioLevitator is a convenient bench top cell culture solution that aims to streamline the cell culture process. It enables the culture of cells on the Global Eukaryotic Microcarrier (GEM) technology from Global Cell Solutions and provides all functions of a cell culture incubator, including controlled temperature and CO2 levels. Engineered to magnetically maneuver the GEM, the BioLevitator facilitates nutrient and gas exchange. In addition, its intuitive and easy to use interface enables simple control of the complete cell culture process. The optimal control of the culture environment and improved access to nutrient and oxygen through gentle homogenisation provides optimal maintenance of high quality cells with minimized intervening steps required and increased walk-away time.
The GEM microcarrier-based cell culture system narrows the gap between cultured and in vivo cells by providing an extracellular-like substrate for three dimensional growth and expansion of cells. The Global Eukaryotic Microcarrier (GEM™) is designed to maintain the unique in vivo phenotype of your favorite cell line while providing a vehicle for culture transport through the drug discovery process.
As a magnetic microcarrier, the GEM not only supports high-density cell culture, but also can be controlled throughout medium exchange or culture collection during manual or automated handling.
The standard GEM of Global Cell Solutions are gelatin coated. The new GEM+ series combines our revolutionary magnetic substrate with the 3D biology of purified extracellular matrices, including:
