The modular system for laboratory-scale cell cultivation

The CELLROLL system is based on a modular assembly concept that allows you to configure the instrument according to your needs. Using only one control unit it is possible to operate two CELLROLL drive units or a combination of one CELLROLL and one CELLSPIN. The control unit automatically recognizes the type of instrument connected and allows you to independently store ten different cell cultivation programs for each unit.

Designed for a “lifelong” use in CO2 incubators

The control unit contains all of the sensitive electronic parts and with a data cable, connects to the drive unit, therefore it can be kept outside of the cell incubator and the electronics are not damaged by the CO2 incubator's humidity. The materials used for the CELLROLL drive unit are non-corroding and the motor housings are sealed tightly – all of this makes sure that a reliable and reliable system will keep your cells always “on the move”

For quality conscious cell culture laboratories

Because quality assurance is an integral part of a cell-based manufacturing process, the CELLROLL system offers the means to efficiently monitor and document cell cultivation. The CELLROLL system can be connected to a printer or a PC to log cultivation parameters at specified time intervals and to record all saved culture protocols. Also an interruption of the cultivation process – either due to a power failure or to an accidental disconnection of the control unit, will generate a beeping- alarm and an error message.

Optimised for cell cultivation

Successful growth of cells in roller bottles often relies on optimal rolling speed and therefore the CELLROLL allows fine-tuning of the rotation speed. The standard drive unit operates in a speed range from 0.1 to 2 rpm and is adjustable in steps of 0.1 rpm. The faster drive unit rotates the roller bottles with 2 to 6 rpm (adjustable in steps of 0.5 rpm).

To avoid unnecessary shear stress, all the rolls of the instrument are turning on high-quality ball-bearings free of vibrations and are driven by a stepper motor which guarantees a completely smooth rolling start and stop.

Adaptable to specific needs

The modular design of the CELLROLL allows scale-up of bottle capacity from 4 to 16 roller bottles. By using two drive units up to 32 roller bottles can be operated using one control unit only. The customised configuration of CELLROLL increases flexibility and efficiency of the lab.
