Automate Routine Media Exchange

Reliable Cell Maintenance Without Scaling Manual Work

Manual media exchange is time-consuming and often pulls scientists into evenings and weekends just to keep cultures fed on schedule. Every repeated manual handling is a chance for inconsistency and contamination to creep in.

LINQ provides an open, integrated automation solution that connects the equipment and steps required for routine media exchange, reducing manual intervention while supporting consistent cell maintenance.

The Benefits of Automated Media Exchange

Increased Operational Time

Automating media exchange increases lab utilization, creating more time for experiments without requiring additional staff to carry out routine feeding tasks.

Enhanced Precision and Consistency

LINQ reduces manual handling and the associated risk of error or contamination, supporting more consistent and reliable media-exchange workflows.

Optimized Resource Utilization

The platform integrates with existing lab equipment, helping laboratories make better use of current investments while retaining the flexibility to expand.

Improved Work-Life Balance

By automating routine media changes, LINQ reduces the need for evening and weekend interventions and frees scientists from repetitive maintenance tasks.

Solutions

Cell Line Maintenance, Expansion, and Cryopreservation

This integrated workcell supports automated cell line maintenance, including routine media exchange. It can connect incubation, liquid handling, cell counting, imaging, passaging, reformatting and cryopreservation within a single workflow from routine feeding through scale-up and banking.

The system can be configured for suspension cells, adherent cells and organoids, with containment added where required by the application.
