New! Enjoy seamless automation and uncompromising sterility

Streamlining Cell Culture Research: Cell culture is a fundamental technique in life sciences research, but it can be tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. Feed-Lid makes cell-based research easier, more efficient, and more reliable.

Our new media exchange consumable, Feed-Lid, is a reusable adaptor that lets users automate medium exchange without removing the plate from their incubator. This reduces the risk of contamination and increases cell growth as they remain within optimal conditions.

Say goodbye to failed experiments and contamination, enjoy better and more reliable results!

Learn more about the technology

Feed-Lid is simple to use and works with existing 6-well plates, does not inhibit the use of microscopy and has been tested with universities in the UK and EU. Feed-Lid is affordable and serves to create a good first impression and has a low barrier to entry since it can be used piecemeal.

Automated Fluid Handling

Our flagship product, Feed-Lid, is a reusable adaptor that enables automated fluid handling for standard culture vessels. With Feed-Lid, you enjoy:

Low Contamination Fluid Transfers: Feed-Lid enables automated media changes, reagent additions, and sampling without ever needing to de-lid or remove culture vessels from the incubator. This closed loop approach significantly reduces instances for contamination compared to manual pipetting methods .Passive gas exchange still happens as usually through ventilated nanopore filters.

Minimized Waste and Increased Efficiency: Medium exchange makes up a large portion of technician and researcher’s FTEs, Feed-Lid can free these up while increasing consistency by ensuring each sample is treated identically. By reducing manual pipetting, which is notorious for the amount of plastic waste generated, Feed-Lid also contributes towards a more sustainable research environment.

Feed-Lid's innovative design integrates seamlessly with standard culture vessels like 6-well plates. It also easily connects to external pumps for easy automation of cell maintenance with no programming or compromises.

Benefits:

Automated fluid handling for standard culture vessels ( 6 wells )
No expensive & bulky pipetting robots or programming
96% less waste
6x faster than pipetting

Reduces lab waste from tips and serological pipettes by 95%

In a manual lab with eight researchers the total waste produced is in annual average 480 kg. From this total amount, 96 kg are related to pipette tips and serological pipettes waste.

The use of our Feedlid reduces waste to about 2.9 kg of lab waste annualy, resulting in a saving of 93.1 kg annually—approximately a 20% reduction in total plastic waste.

This significant reduction demonstrates Feedlid's value in promoting sustainability in manual lab environments.

User reviews

Easy to use, with no contamination

"For 28 days we were able to refresh the medium weekly and the pumping worked nicely. The autoclave worked well for sterilization.

It’s nice to have something you can easily connect. If I had to do this myself, I would have to think of solutions with a lot of pumps and tubing. Overall quite easy to use, there was no contamination".

Accessible Fluid handling

"FeedLid provides efficient movement of fluid for large volume movements and can be controlled in a myriad of ways due to the presence of a luer lock system.

The current system would prove effective at larger volume changes, specifically the wash steps. Feedlid functions as described for fluid handling".
