Key features
- Generate 10–20 times more viable monoclonal colonies in weeks instead of months, lowering the cost per clone.
- Cultivate single cells in a flask-like setting without physical separation, preserving cell physiology and viability.
- Effortlessly and delicately isolate CellRafts with cells or colonies of interest, without relying on fluidics.
- Capture image-based documentation to verify monoclonality.

CellRaft AIR® System: The Next Generation Technology for Faster Activation & Cloning of Single Cells
The CellRaft AIR® System is an integrated, high-viability single-cell culture, automated imaging, and isolation platform. Using unique CellRaft® technology, it maintains cells in their physiologic state to enable more effective clonal expansion without the requirement for aggressive fluidics or trypsinisation.
The system features label-free brightfield imaging and fluorescence analysis for real-time tracking of cell growth and morphology, which facilitates the continuous detection of monoclonal colonies. A magnetic wand-based isolation process non-disruptively extracts intact clones while maintaining viability for subsequent cell line development, CRISPR editing, and organoid applications.
- Generate 10-20× more viable monoclonal colonies in weeks, not months, with reduced costs per clone.
- A culture environment resembling a plastic flask allows cell growth without physical separation, preserving internal physiology.
- Selection-based, fluidics-free, and automated isolation of individual CellRafts enables gentle, contamination-free processing.
- OCR-based tracking supports regulatory documentation at scale and streamlines workflows.
Utilizing a combination of high-throughput imaging, software-guided intelligent selection, and automated isolation, the CellRaft AIR® System delivers the fastest workflows without compromising cell viability and clonality – enabling researchers to produce greater clones in less time.
