Elevate your cell cultivation potential

Streamline your cell cultivation processes with an expansive growth surface inside a compact vessel.

Icon three different sized CellScrew®s

Easy transition from lab to production scale

Thanks to the CellScrew®s large surface area and small volume, you can easily scale your cell expansion without developing complex process adjustments.

Less process steps - 
less risk

One CellScrew® 10K provides you with the same growth area as twelve standard roller bottles, reducing the risk of contamination and freeing up valuable labor time.

Potential to automate

The CellScrew® is the foundation for automated adherent cell cultivation.
We are currently developing a fully automated platform that integrates the CellScrew® and allows you to monitor and control all critical cultivation parameters of your cell culture in real time.

Comparison matrix of adherent cell cultivation systems: with good mixing and a large growth area the CellScrew has advantages over roller bottles, T-flasks and multi-tray stack systems

The CellScrew® combines the benefits of conventional adherent cell culture systems.

  • Can all adherent cell lines be cultivated in the CellScrew®?
    The CellScrew® has been tested with various cell lines, such as mouse fibroblasts (L-929), human kidney cells (HEK-293), and stem cells (human mesenchymal stromal cells). The adhesion rates, growth rates, and final cell densities observed were comparable to or better than those achieved on standard polystyrene surfaces. For more information on the testing of HEK-293 cells on the PLA surface and the CellScrew®, please refer to this Application Note.
  • Does the CellScrew® have a smaller carbon footprint compared to standard cell culture devices?
    Yes! The CellScrew® is made from polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from the polymerization of lactic acid produced from plants. Our additive manufacturing process allows us to produce the same growth surface area with up to 80% less material compared to injection molded culture systems. To comprehensively assess the carbon footprint of the CellScrew®, we are currently conducting a life cycle analysis.
  • Is the CellScrew® GMP-certified?
    The CellScrew® is currently research grade, but we aim to achieve GMP compliance by the end of Q1 2024 and are in the process of constructing a GMP-compliant facility to support this goal.
  • Can cells be visualized under the microscope in the CellScrew®?
    The CellScrew® cannot be microscoped, similar to most other expansion systems that exceed a growth surface of ~300 cm². However, we are currently developing a fully automated, closed production platform for the cellScrew. This platform will allow you to monitor and control all crucial cultivation parameters to create a controlled and reproducible process.
  • Do I need to buy additional equipment to use the CellScrew®?
    The CellScrew® is handled just as a regular roller bottle, where it is placed in an incubator on a roller device. However, it is crucial to position the roller bottle at a 10-15 degree angle on the roller to ensure the filter cap remains dry and the system operates effectively. For simultaneous cultivation of three CellScrew® mini in the dimensions of a CellScrew® 6K, the first order of our bundle includes the CellScrew®mini TriDock.
  • Is the CellScrew® sterile?
    Yes, the CellScrew® comes fully sterilized, as it is vacuum sealed and gamma irradiated. We strongly advise against autoclaving the CellScrew® as it can cause damage to the product's structure and integrity.
