Announcement of the launch of new products in the UpCellⓇ series (flask and insert)

No need for trypsin! Macrophages and others are collected intact. The temperature-responsive culture equipment UpCell has "grid walls" arranged at 3mm intervals.

◆The temperature-responsive culture device UpCell for cell recovery is equipped with "grid walls" placed at 3mm intervals. ◆It has become easier to recover cultured cells in single cell/small colony form. ◆The grid wall is a new technology that prevents cells from proliferating beyond the grid by using optimized grooves on the surface of the culture dish. Cells can be recovered intact with just a short time and temperature treatment. Advantages of RepCell - It is known that trypsin significantly damages cell viability, but with RepCell, it is possible to recover cells while maintaining surface antigens and extracellular matrix. - Cell detachment using only temperature treatment The only necessary procedure for cell recovery is temperature treatment, eliminating the need for cumbersome pipetting operations associated with traditional trypsin use.

It is possible to collect mesenchymal stem cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and cell sheets without using trypsin and without causing damage.

- Celsid's Technology By utilizing a unique nano-surface design, temperature-responsive polymer (PIPAAm) has been immobilized on the surface of the equipment. This allows the surface to change from hydrophobic (cell-adhesive surface) to hydrophilic (cell-releasing surface) by lowering the surface temperature around 32°C. Without using any enzymes that can damage cells, such as trypsin, intact cells can be recovered simply by setting the equipment temperature to 20-25°C and waiting for about 10-30 minutes. - Benefits 1) Easy cell recovery through temperature control. 2) Recovered cells completely retain the extracellular matrix. 3) No need for trypsin, which can harm cells. 4) Suitable for culturing tissues used in regenerative medicine research. 5) For 3D culture by stacking homo/heterogeneous cell sheets. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Complete suppression of cell adhesion in cell culture.

By applying our unique nano-surface design technology, we have fixed (covalently bonded) superhydrophilic polymers to the surfaces of our equipment. In addition to being superhydrophilic, this polymer creates a free water film. The double effect of "superhydrophilicity" and "free water" has achieved a level of low adhesion performance that far surpasses conventional low-adhesion equipment. For more details, please contact us or refer to our catalog.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A."

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Stable adhesion to rough and uneven surfaces such as stone, sheet metal, textured glass, and wood. Piab's "PX Suction Cup Series" is designed for handling rough surfaces, patterned surfaces, and uneven workpieces that are difficult to hold with standard flat suction cups. The high-conformity EPDM sealing ring adapts to the irregularities and shapes of the work surface, while the rigid aluminum support plate and internal support pad provide a stable grip. The internal support pad helps stabilize thin sheets and delicate workpieces while minimizing suction marks. It is suitable for demanding industrial applications involving stone, metal, glass, and wood. Additionally, a cone valve integrated version is also available. By preventing leaks from suction cups that do not contact the workpiece, it enhances safety during transport while reducing air consumption. This is also effective for energy-saving measures in large-area grippers that use multiple suction cups.
