S.NEST®2.0

Real-time metabolic
monitoring and superior
cell culture

Trusted by 100+ scientists

from Leading Biopharmaceutical Companies and Academic Institutions

At the smallest scale,
for the highest throughput

S.NEST® 2.0 is a culturing system that monitors cell metabolism in real-time and provides effective mixing in both 96 and 24-well plates. By integrating monitoring, mixing, and incubation into a single instrument, S.NEST significantly reduces time and costs associated with cell culture R&D and manufacturing.

01. “In-Well” Cell Metabolic Monitoring

↘︎ Mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis insights
↘︎ Real-time, non-invasive, sampling-free monitoring
↘︎ Measurements at 10-min intervals

S.NEST monitors real time DO (dissolved oxygen) and pH in all wells using optical sensors in 96/24-well plates . The data is captured during the entire cell culture period. Our software can further calculate OCR (oxygen consumption rate) and ECAR (extracellular acidification rate) from this data, improving sensitivity to detect metabolic changes earlier.

Application and Tech note

02. Patented “In-Well”
Mixing

✨ Suspension boost:

specially designed vigorous mixing pattern for higher cell density and viability

↘︎ Homogeneous nutrient distribution

↘︎ Higher oxygen transfer rate

↘︎ 3D growing space

↘︎ Increased cell suspension

See your cells thrive with our unique mixing system – efficient pneumatic mixing in 96/24 well plates.

Application and Tech note

03. Independent
Incubation Chambers

Tailor your culture conditions in each of the four independent incubation chambers equipped with precise temperature and CO2 control, humidity monitoring, water reservoir, and UV sterilization. Cultivate flexibly and precisely with independent mixing control for each chamber, allowing parallel execution of both mixing and static culture.
