The Flask Flipper module assists the cell harvesting process by shaking, knocking cells off flask surfaces and holding flasks in the upright position for liquid addition or removal.
Studies in association with the Institute of Chemistry and Biotechnology of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Winterthur have shown that various cell types grown to near confluency in Corning RoboFlask vessels showed no statistical differences in cell counts and cell viability when harvested either manually or by the Freedom Evo equipped with the Flask Flipper (data available from Tecan).
