CELL CULTURE AUTOMATION

Make ROBOTICS
Work for Your
Cell Culture Lab

Support skilled people, take on repetitive work and connect laboratory operations. We develop robotic solutions around your culture methods, equipment and the knowledge you need to protect.

Automation Should Address
the Work Your Lab Depends On

Robotics Built Around Your Culture Process

Specialist techniques take time to master

We develop robot motions with laboratory specialists, using their techniques to guide repeatable task execution.

Repetitive work crosses equipment boundaries

We engineer vessel handling, tool adaptations and equipment interfaces to build toward connected laboratory tasks.

Process records need context

Our traceability development aims to connect robot activity with instrument information, helping teams review how an operation was carried out.

Culture know-how is a business asset

We prioritize local robot execution, with agreed data-use boundaries to help protect proprietary culture methods.

Applications & Execution

Where ROBOTICS Can
Contribute to Cell Culture

We’re working toward automation across the full cell culture workflow, building from individual robotic tasks to connected, multi-step laboratory operations.

Robotics opportunities across the culture workflow

Preparation leads to thawing and seeding, then culture and observation. Cell assessment informs continued culture, passaging when ready, or specialist review. Reseeding returns cells to culture. Cell recovery can also lead to banking, according to the culture plan. These are application opportunities, not a claim of end-to-end automation.

Our Approach

Connecting Laboratory Needs with Robotic Solutions

We develop AI and robotics for the practical demands of cell culture. Scientific understanding and hands-on laboratory knowledge guide the motions, tools and equipment interfaces we build, with ASH_OS supporting robot task execution.

Scientific and laboratory input guides robotics engineering. ASH_OS supports AI and robot control for task execution. Robot trials and laboratory evaluation feed refinements back into engineering.

Develop the Solution
Around Your Laboratory

Keep control of
process knowledge

Local execution is a design priority. Together, we define on-site functions, operational and training data storage, and access and reuse arrangements.

Connect actions with process records

Our traceability development aims to link robot activity, instrument information and process records, so teams can review an operation alongside its result.

Work with your tools and conditions

Your vessels, instruments, workspace and clean-handling requirements guide what can be retained and where fixtures, interfaces or layout changes are needed.

Plan for everyday operation

Training, preparation, intervention and maintenance are considered alongside future task changes, with responsibilities defined as part of the project scope.

How We Can Work Together

  1. 01

    Explore your goals

    Start with a challenge, an idea or a question about what automation could make possible.

  2. 02

    Understand your lab

    We look at relevant operations, equipment and working conditions with your team.

  3. 03

    Shape the solution

    Together, we identify useful automation opportunities and define an initial scope and responsibilities.

  4. 04

    Evaluate & plan ahead

    Where agreed, we evaluate priority tasks within a defined scope and use the findings to plan the next stage.
