S-CEL is the complete solution for your integrated laboratory workcell

The S-CEL enclosure system provides a flexible design that accommodates all types of laboratory automation applications, ranging from simple instrument loading to complex cell based science. With modular workcells, containment options and environmental control, S-CEL is tailored to your individual needs.

A complete solution typically includes the following:

A robotic plate handler
A microplate store/incubator
A number of laboratory instruments required by the process you wish to automate
The process workflow is optimized and controlled by Overlord™, our advanced scheduling software. Overlord is an easy-to-use scheduler that lets you define a procedure once, for one plate, and then use it for all the plates in the batch.   This reduces development time and providing reliable run-time operation. The extensive Overlord driver library provides access to over 300 commonly used laboratory instruments (robots, liquid handlers, plate readers, incubators – as well as many peripheral devices), allowing us to deliver the most comprehensive automation solution available.

Features
User and environmental protection, Class II type protection available
Configurable sizes to fit the required instrumentation
Advanced safety system – interlocked doors or light curtains for easy access
TRESPA® chemical resistant, easily cleanable, bench tops
Modular configuration, allowing multiple S-CEL™ workcells to be linked for large automated processes
Includes an ergonomic support arm for monitor, keyboard and mouse (or touch screen)
PAA is 'vendor neutral' enabling you to choose exactly what instruments you want to integrate

S-CEL Features and Benefits
S-CEL is our prestige range of laboratory robotic workcell enclosures

S-CEL robotic workcell systems are designed for cell based science and other demanding biotechnology applications. With modular workcells, options for various enclosures, and environmental control, S-CEL systems are tailored to your individual needs. Rectangular and hexagonal designs are available.

3D-modelling is used to design, simulate the operation of the work cell, manage the production and document the system. This ensures that an optimum design is reached quickly, the workcell is manufactured efficiently and that rework is eliminated, providing a cost effective solution and short delivery time.

All systems comply with all European and international safety legislation regarding the safe use of robots
and other pharmaceutical equipment CE and ETLus certificates provided.

Connect docking station increases flexibility
Increases the productivity of high value equipment ensuring maximum return on investment
Seamless integration of third-party equipment
True plug-and-play docking of instruments using connect, enabling your instruments
to be used in multiple applications
Benefit from full 360˚ unrestricted access to the system for instrument calibration and servicing
With S-CEL capable of running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – science never stops

Software Control
S-CEL is powered by Overlord, PAA’s advanced scheduling and control software allows the widest range range of robots and instruments to be incorporated into the workcell
Overlord incorporated powerful error recovery – minimizing downtime
Overlord allows batches of samples to be queued, multiple assays to be run – all through a simple user interface
Use the Harmony touch screen interface for intuitive workcell control
