We have been using the U-CUP perfusion bioreactor for approximately 1 year. Due to excellent technical assistance, detailed protocols and a hands-on introduction at the facilities, only a short time was needed to get everything up and running in our lab.  We have carried out studies for up to 28 days with primary cells.  The system takes up little space, is easily handled and manipulated ensuring sterility and the results are highly reproducible between multiple samples. The team at CellecBiotek AG, especially Ms. Anna Gril and Dr. Adam Papadimitropoulos have provided professional guidance before and after the purchase, as well as well as excellent scientific support. It is not a matter of course that critical questions are discussed and that scientific details are openly shared – and for this we are very grateful!

We work on hematopoietic niches, more precisely on the interactions between hematopoietic stem cells and their microenvironment. We had previously developed an in vitro 3D niche composed of different bone marrow stromal cells and demonstrate the functionality of our model by its capacity to maintain or promote stemness/quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells. We wanted to increment our system by adding flow to better fit with the bone marrow physiology. We have purchased the U-CUP perfusion bioreactor from CELLEC. We really see that CELLEC proposes a “ready-to-use” system. 

However, despite the very user-friendly side of the U-CUP, we faced several difficulties to have a good flow and to correctly colonize our biomaterial. We wrote to the scientific expert to have advices and each time we had a quick and powerful answer adapted to our problems. They really perfectly know their product and have a large scientific culture to bring adapted solutions.

The U-CUP from Cellec fulfilled our wishes and, even more, open to us new research fields!
