Walk-away cell culture, from flask to biobank
RoboCell® systems and the Bioflow® platform automate cell maintenance, passage, expansion and cryogenic storage — 24/7, fully traceable, and configured to the workflow your lab actually runs.
Installed at leading pharmaceutical companies and research institutes · Fremont, California
Cells don’t keep office hours. Neither does RoboCell.
Cell culture is the most labor-intensive, least reproducible step in biology. RoboCell replaces the manual routine with an enclosed robotic system that runs around the clock and records everything it does.
Unattended operation with on-board incubation, media supply, LN₂ storage and waste handling
Cell lines maintained in a single RoboCell on average — adherent, suspension, primary, immortalized and iPSC
Standard task modules, configured to your workflow and expandable as your lab grows
Sample lineage, images, parameters and environmental conditions logged for every passage

Industrial robotics, built for the bench
Photographed in Celltrio’s Fremont demonstration lab: enclosed robotics, standard labware and Bioflow keeping score.
Three transformations. One platform.
Celltrio automates the physical work first, then digitizes it, then learns from it — each stage delivered on the same RoboCell hardware and Bioflow software.
Manual workflows become standardized robotic tasks
Incubation, media exchange, passage, counting, imaging, centrifugation and cryostorage — performed inside an enclosed, HEPA-filtered, positive- or negative-pressure system.
RoboCell + Bioflow →Every run becomes traceable, simulated and schedulable
Visual protocol design, digital-twin simulation, dynamic scheduling and granular data aggregation across systems and sites.
Bioflow Scheduler →Operations that predict, recommend and self-optimize
Predictive scheduling, anomaly detection and AI-assisted protocol design, built on the data foundation of every run.
Bioflow intelligence →Start with one flask line. Scale to a cryobank.

Bioflow®: the operating platform for RoboCell
One platform, two layers. Operate runs and monitors the system in real time with full traceability. Design & Learn lets scientists build, simulate and schedule protocols — without waiting on an automation engineer.
- Real-time monitoring, inventory, guided recovery and audit trail
- Visual protocol design, dynamic scheduling and digital-twin simulation
- AI-assisted protocol optimization and predictive analytics
Built for the cell work biopharma actually does
From routine maintenance to biobanking, RoboCell handles the full protocol across multiple passages — for adherent, suspension, primary, immortalized and iPSC lines.
iPSC expansion & differentiation
Multi-passage protocols with imaging-based confluency decisions and gentle, consistent handling.
