Automated cell suspension dispensing with TAP Fill-It and Overlord2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fill-It from The Automation Partnership (TAP), is a new product for rapid dispensing cell suspensions and other liquids into screw-cap vials, and includes automation for removing and replacing the vial caps. Coupled with Overlord2 and the paa SCARA robot this provides a cost effective fully automated solution for filling capped vials.

Fill-It
enables the rapid creation of high quality, consistent stock vials for centralized cell line libraries, screening operations or GMP production cell banks and can be used with both mammalian and microbial cell suspensions. The integrated SCARA robot allows loading of vial racks for a high throughput fully automated system and the integration of additional instruments to the system from the extensive range of over 350 Overlord2 drivers. Overlord2 software provides a simple control interface that can interact with any database for work listing and sample audit.
