Introduction:
Swiss Seed Biosciences SA and Cryologyx Ltd have been awarded the SLAS Europe Product Award 2024 for their products Dispen3D and PlateReady, respectively. The winners were chosen based on factors such as market opportunity, potential impact on the automation sector, originality of the product, and proof of concept.
- SEED Biosciences’ Dispen3D is a single-cell dispensing and cell seeding system designed for handling shear-sensitive 3D cell models. It can handle pressures below 0.2 psi and is suitable for applications such as spheroid-based lead optimization and personalized medicine.
- CryoLogix PlateReady uses cryoprotectants to simplify the freeze-thaw process of cryopreserved cells. It maintains high cell viability and functionality post-thaw, allowing researchers to spend more time on valuable operations rather than cell preparation.
- Other finalists for the award included LPKF, CellDynamics, CYTENA, and Yokogawa, each with innovative products in the field of life sciences automation.
- The SLAS Europe conference aims to improve networking and collaboration across sectors in life sciences automation.
Conclusion:
The SLAS Europe Product Award 2024 recognized the transformative potential of SEED Biosciences’ Dispen3D and CryoLogix PlateReady in the field of life sciences automation. These innovative products offer solutions for handling 3D cell models and simplifying the freeze-thaw process of cryopreserved cells, respectively. The award highlights the importance of technological advancements in improving efficiency and reproducibility in the life sciences industry.
