| Abstract | particular, recognise the importance of fully understanding a user’s specific needs and challenges, not just in terms of the function of the instruments, but also from an application standpoint. An example where this has been extremely successful is in cell biology research, where automation of cell maintenance and cell-line generation has presented its own unique set of challenges. Having started as basic cell-feeding stations, the latest comprehensive automated cell biology solutions are proving invaluable in biomedical research fields, including stem cell research, transplantation medicine and highthroughput monoclonal antibody production. Modern automated cell culture workstations can operate unattended over whole weekends and process many cell lines in parallel. It is essential that the complex processes involved – such as cloning, transfection, cell maintenance, routine subculturing, harvesting adherent cells and accounting for the varying responses of different cell lines – are all automated while still maintaining sterile conditions.
