PENZBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regenerative medicine is dependent on advances in tissue engineering, biochemistry and applied bioengineering to develop and produce cells and cell-based products that regenerate or repair damaged and degenerated tissues and organs. A research team led by Dr. Ursula Graf-Hausner from the Institute of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry at Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland, has now reported in the Journal of the Association of Laboratory Automation (JALA 2011; 16:204-13), the development of an automated liquid-handling cell culture platform for isolating, expanding and characterizing human primary cells. An important component in this platform is Roche’s (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) high-throughput Cellavista Imaging System for noninvasively measuring of cell expansion and fluorescence measurement of cell quality.
