Cell Forge
One-stop solution for cell suspension sample prep
Panel mixing, cell staining and cell washing on a single automated platform — built for flow cytometry and single-cell workflows.
How it works
- 1
Panel mixing
Build and dispense antibody panels without hands-on pipetting.
- 2
Cell staining
Stain suspensions reproducibly across every sample in the run.
- 3
Cell washing
Pellet and wash without manual centrifuge handling.
The platform
What's inside
-
P54 Module
Antibody storage in standard screw-cap tubes. A layered lid avoids both cross-contamination and repeated recapping, and reagent levels are tracked as the run proceeds.
-
StainWorks
Panel design, mixing and inventory in one application. Up to 96 distinct sub-panels in a single run, including FMOs and single stains.
-
Celltrifuge
A centrifuge designed for cells: 3000 RPM (600g), stepper-driven and self-balancing, stopping in the same position every time. The plate bends so cells pellet uniformly.
-
Spin-Thaw™
96 cryovials per run at 600g — ten minutes hands-on, with no specialised equipment required.

Validation
Tested against manual preparation
Results below come from Parhelia's automated sample-prep platforms; figures are labelled with the instrument that produced them, where that is known.
-
Eight-week pipetting stability
Automated dispensing held accuracy over an eight-week run, outperforming manual pipetting across the same period.

Automated panel mixing versus manual
Automated panel mixing compared against manual preparation on one representative human PBMC sample, across 27 gated populations. This data was generated on the Parhelia Spatial Station, not Cell Forge.
