We will start selling new products in the TASCL series.

It is easy to culture three-dimensional cell aggregates (spheroids) with almost uniform shape and size. Differentiation induction is also possible through long-term culture. The usage is simple.

The features of the three-dimensional cell aggregate (spheroid/embryoid body) culture and differentiation induction microplate "TASCL" are as follows: 1. It allows for the mass three-dimensional culture of cell aggregates with nearly uniform shape, size, and quality at once. Approximately 600 cell aggregates can be cultured in TASCL 6WELL 600, and about 1000 in TASCL 6WELL 1000. 2. The bottom surface of the micro-well is perforated, enabling the circulation of culture media and gases to the cells through the culture insert, allowing for prolonged and optimal culture of the cell aggregates. 3. Long-term culture of cell aggregates for more than one month is possible, and differentiation induction can be performed using the same equipment. 4. The high-density well structure reduces the amount of culture media and reagents needed, leading to savings. 5. The wells are treated with a cell adhesion-inhibiting coating (valid for two years from the date of manufacture). They are gamma-irradiated, allowing for immediate use upon opening. 6. Cell seeding is simply done by evenly dropping a cell suspension from above. Centrifugation is unnecessary, and media exchange is also easy. 7. Made from a permeable material, it allows for the observation of cells using an inverted microscope from the bottom while culturing cells in TASCL.

• Culture vessel

Single item of TASCL micro well plates. Can culture approximately 1,000 or about 600 cell aggregates.

Single item of TASCL micro well plates. There are two types: 1000 wells or 600 wells, with the 1000 wells capable of culturing approximately 1,000 or about 600 cell clusters. *The 600 wells will be available starting January 2025, and the 1000 wells are scheduled for release after March 2025. The product is affixed to a PET sheet and sealed in a sterilization bag. It can be removed from the PET sheet using tweezers and placed on any desired equipment (such as culture inserts or petri dishes) or gels for use. The micro well plates are coated with a cell adhesion suppression coating (effective for two years from manufacture) and are sterilized by gamma radiation (25kGy to 50kGy) before being sealed in the sterilization bag.

• Culture vessel

Cultivation possible with just one TASCL micro well plate.

This product includes a culture insert and a TASCL micro well plate set in a dish. It can achieve a culture environment equivalent to a TASCL 6-well plate with just one TASCL micro well plate. The TASCL micro well plate comes in two types: 1000 wells or 600 wells, with the 1000 wells capable of culturing approximately 1,000 or about 600 cell aggregates. *The 600 wells will be available starting January 2025, and the 1000 wells are scheduled for release after March 2025. The outer diameter of the dish is 51 mm, the inner diameter is 36 mm, the depth is 16.3 mm, and the gap between the culture insert and the bottom is 5 mm. The micro wells and culture insert are coated with a cell adhesion suppression coating (effective for two years from manufacturing), and they are sterilized by gamma radiation (25 kGy to 50 kGy) and sealed in sterilization bags as a set of 6 well plates.

• Culture vessel

Adapter for using culture inserts on 35mm dishes. Reusable.

Adapter for placing culture inserts in a 35mm dish (height 1cm). When combined with the TASCL mesh, it allows for the cultivation of a single TASCL micro-well plate. This product needs to be sterilized before use and can be reused multiple times after sterilization with an autoclave or similar method. For experiments that require repeated cultivation of a single TASCL micro-well plate, preparing multiple commercially available 35mm dishes, commercially available culture inserts, and TASCL meshes, and sterilizing the culture insert adapter for multiple uses can make the experiment more cost-effective. Compatibility confirmed only with Greiner ThinCert, for 6 wells. The photo shows the main body attached to a 35mm dish.

The time for celebration has come! The new production hall has started operations! While finishing work continues in other parts of the building, metal shavings are already being produced in the first machining center. Last Friday afternoon, employees and their families, along with companies involved in the construction, gathered to celebrate the achievements so far. Cold drinks, hot barbecue, and an ice cream stand were provided. During the celebration, many employees had the opportunity to tour the entire new building for the first time. Visitors were introduced to the new machines and improved logistics through guided tours of the production area. The new training room, the training center on the upper floor, and the latest conference room for customers were also unveiled. With this new building, Volkmann GmbH has secured an additional 4,500 square meters of production space. This expansion was very important, as the existing hall had already reached its limits due to the company's ongoing growth and increased production volume.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.

The video shows that there is a tank at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor, and steam is constantly being released (in a simulated manner). If no measures are taken, the steam will enter the inside of the vacuum conveyor, condense into water droplets, and cause powder adhesion. Both our company and our customers have been troubled by such installations. This time, with the special module jointly developed with Minato Engineering Co., Ltd., we have succeeded in blocking the rising steam. From around the middle of the video, you can see that this function is turned on. You should be able to understand that the steam that was previously rising has disappeared. As a result, it has become possible to install equipment in a steam atmosphere, which was previously difficult to do, with peace of mind.
