Workflow: Cell Cultured Meat
 
Animal tissue collection
Animal tissue collection

Animal tissue collection

The process starts with a small biopsy from a live animal, typically taken from muscle tissue. This is cruelty-free and doesn’t harm the animal.

Single-cell isolation

Single-cell isolation

Individual cells are isolated from the tissue. These cells have the potential to grow and differentiate into muscle tissues.

SpectraMax Reader and Cell Imager

DispenCell Single-Cell Despenser

The DispenCell™ Single-Cell Dispenser revolutionizes single-cell isolation by utilizing advanced microfluidics technology to accurately control the dispensing of individual cells.

Monoclonality verification and growth optimization

Monoclonality verification and growth optimization

The isolated cells are cultivated in a controlled environment. With the CloneSelect® Imager, the best single-cell clones are identified and further cultivated. This step ensures that the cells have the optimal growth charachteristics

03
Characterization and Safety Assessment

Characterization and Safety Assessment

As the cells multiply and form muscle tissue, their growth and characteristics are monitored using the SpectraMax® microplate reader. This ensures that the meat produced meets the desired quality and nutritional standards.

SpectraMax Reader and Cell Imager

The use of a microplate reader with an imaging cytometer, like the SpectraMax i3x plate reader and SpectraMax MiniMax™ 300 Imaging Cytometer, allows for the characterized production of secreted factors or other markers on the surface or within the cloned and grown tissue and to assess safety.
