CellScrew filled with cell culture media. CellScrew®: sustainable and scalable adherent cell expansion system. The CellScrew is a novel single use cell culture device that is made from renewable plant-based polylactic acid (PLA). Manufactured by Green Elephant Biotech and distributed by Ilex Life Sciences.
The CellScrew® is a cell culture system designed for mass expansion of adherent cells. By rotation of the CellScrew®, media and gas are transferred through an Archimedean screw, providing an excellent environment for the cells. Concentric cylinders form the large growth area. Due to TC-treatment, the surface is ideal for cell attachment and growth. The compact design allows easy handling and saves incubator space.

90% less plastic waste with the CellScrew®!

The CellScrew® is a novel single-use cell culture device with a high growth area to volume ratio. It can simply be used in any bottle or tube roller. The TC-treated surface of the CellScrew® is suitable for the cultivation of demanding adherent cell lines (e.g. HEK-293 or MSCs). It is made from plant derived polylactic acid (PLA) by an additive manufacturing process. This innovation enables reduction of carbon footprint by ~90% when compared to standard single-use cell culture dishes.

Your advantages with the CellScrew®

  • Reduced manufacturing costs: The large growth area, intensified processes and ease of handling reduce labor costs and required manufacturing space.
  • Reduced time to market: As the CellScrew® can be applied from lab scale to manufacturing scale, no additional process development is necessary to scale-up.
  • Reduced environmental impact: Your CO₂ emission is reduced by more than 90% using the CellScrew®, compared to conventional multilayer flasks.

Unparalleled growth area to volume ratio; excellent low-shear mixing

The CellScrew®'s novel internal structures comprised of multiple Archimedean Screws, concentric cylinders and a central tube create a low-shear stress, continuously mixed, highly oxygenated environment. This creates conditions for optimal adherent cell attachment and growth. The compact design allows easy handling and saves incubator space.
