Overview
The breakthrough cell culture technology from CYTENA will help users expedite their cell line development procedure.
Companies are striving for competitive advantages in cell line development as the biopharmaceutical business grows. The S.NEST, a high-throughput microbioreactor with CO2 incubator capabilities, lessens the time taken for cell upscaling, gives a superior microscale environment for cell growth, and improves cell line selection efficiency.
S.NEST™—How it works?
- Culture: A high-throughput cultivation method that allows for the simultaneous incubation of four 24-well or 96-well plates.
- Optimize: Mixing levels can be customized thanks to a distinctive fluid control mechanism that promotes cell growth.
- Improve: Inventive parts and intelligent design that reduces evaporation’s impact.
- Monitor: Continuous monitoring of pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels throughout the cell culture timeline.
- Analyze: Intuitive software analysis that converts data into knowledge.
- Trust: Credible findings that allow the user to optimize their cell culture operations.
Features
Maximum productivity with minimum effort
The S.NEST adds suspension culture and late-stage bioreactor conditions to the early-stage cell line creation pipeline, allowing for more growth area and oxygen than static cultures. When employing the S.NEST, cells have higher density and survivability than when incubated normally, and weeks of cell expansion are no longer required.

Consumables for optimal cell culture
The S.NEST lid is available with 96 or 24 fluidic channels, which cover the respective well plates. The fluidic channels’ innovative condenser design efficiently lowers liquid evaporation. Every mixing, the condensation accumulated on the surface of the condenser circulates back to the culture.

Increased oxygen transfer
To enable homogeneous reciprocating mixing, the S.NEST applies suction or expulsion pressure through the fluidic channels. Customizable mixing control reduces the shear rate for various cell lines.
The oxygen transfer tubes connected to the lid provide constant oxygen flow to the cells, ensuring a healthy environment.
