BENEFITS

The Complete Workcell for Single-Cell Cloning & Clone Selection

The C.STATION automates the entire CLD pipeline, from minipool dispensing to top-clone selection, so your team can deliver scale-ready clones faster while freeing scientists for high-value biology.

Free Up Scientist Time

Reduce manual bench time from 2–3 FTEs down to ~0.5 FTE per campaign with automated media exchange, passaging, and plate handling.

Biologist-Friendly Automation

Easy drag-and-drop scheduling powered by Green Button Go lets scientists set up and run campaigns without writing code or hiring automation engineers.

Automated, Miniaturized Fed-Batch Screening

Integrated Kuhner orbital shaking incubators allow automated screening of clones under suspension conditions directly in plates, reducing time and cost to identify top clones.

Regulatory-Ready Traceability

Ensure GxP compliance with double-assured image-based proof of monoclonality, unique clone ID tracking, and 21 CFR Part 11 compatibility.

CSTATION-Whats-Inside-Image

Scale-Up Your CLD Without Compromising Outcomes and Confidence.

The CLD Bottleneck

Every CLD lab faces the same pressures: skilled scientists are scarce and expensive, manual CLD workflows take up valuable time with repetitive tasks that do not scale well, and custom automation is expensive, hard to configure, and often requires a dedicated automation engineer. The result is 2 to 3 FTEs locked into 10- to 12-week workflows that slip and restart.

Scale Capacity, Not Headcount

The C.STATION decouples CLD capacity from team size. Scientists are freed from pipetting at the bench, unlocking precious experiment planning and data analysis time.

Purpose-Built for CLD

Unlike integrator workcells, the C.STATION is purpose-built for CLD by CLD scientists, not a generalist prototype. Pre-configuration gets it running in your lab twice as fast, at lower cost, and you benefit from continuous development shaped by our experience automating workflows just like yours.

SPEAK WITH A SPECIALIST

Purpose-Built, Configurable Architecture

Image (14)

Skip the high cost and delay of custom integrators.

C.STATION is an off-the-shelf workcell engineered specifically for CLD by CLD experts, helping your lab become operational in under 7 months. Choose BSL-1 or BSL-2 enclosures, static or orbital shaking incubation, and custom plate layouts to fit your workflow.

High-Efficiency, Gentle Dispensing

CYT _ Dispensing-Efficiency

Maximize clone recovery for sensitive cell types.

Powered by the integrated UP.SIGHT dispenser, C.STATION achieves 97% single-cell seeding efficiency and up to 80% outgrowth rates. Low-shear dispensing helps preserve delicate cell health (CHO, iPSCs, primary lines) to yield more viable clones from fewer plates.

Centralized Clone Intelligence

CYT | Product Details - Follow your top clones journey

Eliminate fragmented data and version chaos.

C.STUDIO captures every dispense image, Day-X confluency map, VCD reading, and titer assay under a single unique clone ID. Make data-driven selection decisions from one centralized source of truth.

Future-Proof Universal Expansion Port

Scale your system as your lab grows.

An integrated universal side port lets the internal robotic arm pass plates to external third-party instruments with zero size limitations, keeping your system flexible as your research needs evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is C.STATION?

C.STATION is an automated cell line development workcell built around UP.SIGHT. It runs the entire CLD workflow hands-free — single-cell isolation, day-X imaging, culture and passaging, VCD, titer and clone selection. Pwered by BIOSERO  GreenButtonGo (GBG), with all clone intelligence centralised in C.STUDIO.

Can a biologist run CLD automation without coding?

Yes. C.STATION is operated through a guided scheduler and user interface, so a cell biologist can configure, queue and run a full campaign without writing code, hiring an automation engineer or relying on vendor support. The workcell adapts to your team and worklow, not the other way around.

How much can automation shorten CLD timelines and reduce workload?

Substantially: C.STATION helps identify top producers 1–3 weeks earlier and shorten regulatory timelines 2–6+ weeks, while running campaigns at around 0.5 FTE (versus 2–3 manually) with 30–50% better reproducibility and 20–40% lower consumable use.

Can I start manual and automate later without wasting investment?

Yes. UP.SIGHT runs standalone today and drops into a C.STATION or GO.SIMPLE work cell when your throughput grows, using the same dispensing core — so there is no wasted CAPEX and no re-validation of the underlying technology on the path to automation.
