One platform. Customizable. Every module you need, none you don’t.
Enclosed, HEPA-filtered, positive- or negative-pressure systems assembled from standard task modules — so you buy the workflow you run today and add capacity later.
The standard for automated cell culture
RoboCell handles T-flasks, well plates, conical tubes and cryovials with incubation, centrifugation, imaging, media temperature control, label printing and third-party instrument integration — all under Bioflow control.
See a RoboCell run, module by module — how flasks move between incubation, liquid handling, imaging and counting, and how Bioflow keeps track of every step. Explore Bioflow
24/7 operation
Frees scientists from labor-intensive routine so they can focus on experiments, not feeding schedules.
Reproducible results
Standardized modules and processes treat every flask the same way, every time, with a complete digital record.
Scales with you
Add task modules or capacity as your production expands, without replacing the system you already have.
Enclosed & safe
Fully enclosed positive- or negative-pressure enclosure with HEPA filtration protects cultures and operators.
Which RoboCell fits your lab?
Every configuration runs the same Bioflow software and the same task modules. Choose by labware, capacity and floor space — or lay one out yourself.

RoboCell® Small
T-flask culturing with incubation, liquid handling, media temperature control, microscopy and cell counting.
RoboCell® Medium
Adds well-plate culturing, an advanced liquid handler and plate incubation; optional centrifugation, imaging and cryovial preparation.
RoboCell® Large
Highest capacity with LN₂ refrigeration, controlled-rate freezing, individual cryovial handling and thawing in one end-to-end system.
Lay out your RoboCell around the linear robot
Pick a frame size to load its standard layout, then drag task modules to add, move or remove them anywhere along the rail. Everything is drawn to the same top-down scale. Nothing is saved — it is a sketch to talk through with our application scientists.
20+ standard task modules
Each module runs inside RoboCell or as a stand-alone unit — same interfaces, same Bioflow control.
Incubation
T-flask and plate incubators with on-board storage
Storage
Ambient storage for flasks, plates and consumables
Media supply
Heated and refrigerated media and reagent lines
Consumables
Conical tubes, reservoirs and micropipette tips on demand
Transport
Rail-mounted SCARA moves labware between every module
Decapping
Removes and replaces caps without touching the flask neck
Detachment
Controlled tapping for even cell detachment
Liquid handling
Flask, tube and plate liquid handling
Centrifuge
Automated spin and decant for passage and harvest
Confluency
Imaging for passage decisions and records
Cell counting
Beckman Coulter cell viability analyzer integration
Plating
6- to 1536-well plate formats
Labware in, cells out
Static and dynamic stockers hold flasks, plates, tubes and cryoracks in barcoded positions; the In & Out feed passes new labware into the enclosure without breaking the clean environment. Celltrio supplies validated consumables — cryovial racks, LabPorter™ tube carriers, media transfer tubing and reagent reservoirs — so every run starts from known-good parts.
- Barcoded storage positions tracked in Bioflow
- In & Out feed with SBS and T-175 formats
- Validated consumables kits per protocol
Validated labware for every module
Cryovial racks
96-position racks for RoboVial and RoboStor
Conical tube racks
Barcoded carriers for 15 and 50 mL tubes
Pipettes
Serological pipettes in stocker-ready cassettes
V-Groove reservoirs
Sterile, non-pyrogenic, DNase/RNase free
Media tubing
Closed transfer sets for Robo-MR media lines
What procurement asks first
Sterility
Fully enclosed, positive- or negative-pressure enclosure with HEPA filtration; every process runs inside the sterile envelope.
Facility
Footprint, power, gas and LN₂ requirements are specified per configuration in the system brochure and site-prep guide.
Install & training
Site preparation review, installation, protocol onboarding and on-site operator training with every system.
Support
Ticketed support, remote diagnostics through Bioflow, and software updates for the life of the system.
