Frequently asked questions
Emmet is an intelligent machine designed to automate and scale mammalian cell culture workflows, specifically TC flask-based protocols.
Think of Emmet as an incubator, TC hood, refrigerator, process monitoring system, and cell culture technician, all in one machine (e.g., a unified hardware and software stack in a single instrument footprint).
Emmet standardises and automates cell culture workflows, including seeding, media exchange/perfusion, passaging, differentiation, and harvesting.
With Emmet, you can spend less time moving liquids between flasks and more time designing and analysing experiments (and enjoying your weekends!)
Engineered for ultimate versatility. The platform offers seamless compatibility across any mammalian cell type, from sensitive human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and robust HEK lines to diverse cancer cell models and beyond.
Emmet is compatible with any commercially available tissue culture (TC) flask: T25, T75 & T225.
TC flasks can be plasma-treated (anchorage-dependent culture) or non-treated (suspension-adapted culture).
We are actively developing:
1) Parallelised, closed fluidic cartridges to support adherent culture based scale up of autologous and allogeneic therapeutics.
2) Dedicated suspension cell culture vessels for scale-down, multiplexed experiments.
Our current platform is highly versatile for R&D environments, allowing you to culture different cell lines sequentially by utilising our automated wash protocol. While we do not guarantee total cross-contamination prevention for sensitive parallel workflows today, a next-generation architecture featuring multiple independent, closed-loop fluidics channels is already actively in development to unlock fully isolated multi-line processing.
Emmet utilises a specialised cartridge manifold for flexible, automated fluid management. By using pneumatic pressure to open and close internal membrane valves, the system effortlessly routes liquids from any point to point.
Absolutely. Emmet features a sophisticated, fully integrated onboard imaging system paired with advanced software. You can remotely direct the microscope to target any specific flask for real-time viewing and crisp photo capture. Once captured, your high-resolution images are securely archived onboard, allowing you to seamlessly deploy our automated confluence analysis tools for precise, quantifiable growth metrics without ever disturbing your culture environment.
The system features a comprehensive, multi-sensor analytical suite for real-time monitoring and environmental control:
o Integrated Climate Tracking: Real-time diagnostics for core incubation variables, including incubator temperature and CO2 levels.
o Dynamic Flow Analytics: Onboard pressure diagnostics that constantly regulate and maintain precise fluidic flow rates.
o Automated Growth Metrics: Integrated image-based analytics providing seamless, on-demand confluence analysis.
Designing and executing your workflows is entirely seamless thanks to Emmet’s cloud platform. The platform features a dedicated protocol builder utilising an intuitive, visual drag-and-drop system. You can easily map out your entire experiment from a web browser, then securely send the protocol directly to the machine to begin your automated run.
Emmet’s secure cloud platform gives you total visibility into your laboratory, no matter where you are. From a remote browser, you can log in to check the exact progress of your active protocol, view real-time run data, and continuously track critical environmental metrics, ensuring complete confidence that your cultures are thriving 24/7.
