Manual spheroid transfer may seem like a simple step, but it can become a bottleneck when throughput and reproducibility are critical.

In one of our application studies using HT-29-derived spheroids, CELL HANDLER™ demonstrated greater efficiency in spheroid transfer compared with a conventional manual method, including:

⏱️ Approximately 60% reduction in operation time
💧 Approximately 99% reduction in carry-over medium
✓ Cell transfer success and morphology retention rates equal to or higher than those achieved with manual transfer

For researchers working with spheroid-based assays or microphysiological systems (MPS), reducing variability during sample transfer can help create more consistent, efficient, and reproducible workflows.

“How is the CELL HANDLER™ different from conventional pipetting systems?” This was one of the questions we received during a recent scientific meeting.

A part of the answer lies in the Yamaha Precision Tip — a proprietary dispensing tip developed by Yamaha Motor – with a unique plunger design.

Unlike conventional air-displacement pipetting systems, the Precision Tip and its inner plunger allow fine control of aspiration and dispensing across a wide range of sample types and culture environment, from liquid media to semi-solid gel matrices.

The Precision Tip is designed to help researchers:
✔ Minimize air bubbles during dispensing
✔ Place cells with high precision
✔ Aspirate samples directly from gel matrices
✔ Handle precious cells, spheroids, and organoids with minimal physical stress
✔ Fine-tune aspiration and dispensing speed and volume for each application

In cell handling, every transfer matters.
The Precision Tip gives researchers greater control, reproducibility, and confidence in their workflows.

Can you maintain monoclonality and traceability while improving the efficiency of cell line development? The answer is YES!

At this year's annual meeting of the Japanese Society for Animal Cell Technology (JAACT), Dr. Noriko Yamano-Adachi of Osaka University will present their work on establishing novel cell lines using CELL HANDLER™2.

The seminar will highlight:

• Efficient clone selection using dual-fluorescence imaging
• Monoclonality assurance through image-based cell tracking
• Data traceability throughout the cloning process
• Efficiency improvement potential of cell line development workflows

If you are working on cell line development, cell therapy, or biopharmaceutical manufacturing, join us to explore how image-based automation can enhance both efficiency and confidence in clone selection.

In antibody discovery and cell line development (CLD), researchers are increasingly seeking workflows that can identify high-value clones efficiently while maintaining confidence in selection decisions.

Through its image-based cell handling technologies, the CELL HANDLER™2 achieves;
🔹 Identification and detection of antibody-producing cells,
🔹 Automated clone picking from target cell populations, and
🔹 Integrated image and data management for traceable decision-making.

These functionalities are helping researchers increase the efficiency and reproducibility of given processes and giving them confidence in their clone selection.

At a technical seminar at JAACT 2026, Dr. Noriko Yamano-Adachi of Osaka University will present the cell line establishment workflow using the CELL HANDLER™2.

Common challenges in toxicity studies that can affect assay quality and data consistency:
* variability in organoid morphology and size
* difficulty in recognizing complex structures
* well-to-well variability, and
* difficulty in tracking changes over time.
That’s where Yamaha’s lab automation solution can help.

Using image-based analysis, the CELL HANDLER™2 can:
• Select organoids based on morphology
• Standardize organoid sizes across wells
• Recognize organoids with complex structures
• Acquire images of organoids in the same wells over time

The CELL HANDLER™2 also supports workflows spanning from genome editing to organoid generation and evaluation.

At the Yamaha Motor booth at the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Toxicology, we will introduce how CELL HANDLER™2 can support research workflows involving respiratory and intestinal organoids.

Please stop by Booth 123, and let’s have a conversation about how Yamaha Motor’s technology could take your toxicity research workflows to the next level.

What if researchers could better understand disease mechanisms by recreating them at the cellular level?

In our latest User’s Voice article, Dr. Yuichiro Miyaoka of the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science shares how his team uses human iPS cells and genome-editing technology to study disease models.

A key challenge in this field is identifying and isolating the right cell clones. Dr. Miyaoka explains how CELL HANDLER™ supports his team by isolating target iPS cell clones in a 3D gel culture environment, enabling them to visually identify, select, and recover the clones needed for downstream evaluation.
