Agitation Culture Made Simple
The next-generation microplate agitation system for cell line development (CLD).
Compact, automated agitation culture for 96/24-well plates
C.BIRD® is a compact, user-friendly mixing system that brings Cytena’s patented reciprocating agitation to your standard incubator — unlocking better culture consistency across 96/24-well plates. C.BIRD enables low-shear, uniform mixing for suspension and adherent cell lines alike, improving nutrient distribution, oxygen transfer, and overall culture reliability without requiring a dedicated bioreactor incubator.
Reduce the amount of time required to culture cells by identifying suitable clones faster and more reliably.

Bringing agitation conditions to 96/24-well plates
C.BIRD™ is a high-throughput microplate agitation system designed for parallel cultivations in 96- and 24-well plates, with a working volume range of 150–1,600 µL.
Cutting weeks off the cell line development process
C.BIRD™ enables earlier identification of the highest producing and most stable clones, reduces later passaging steps and efforts of current scaling up process.
Better predictability of the best cell clones
C.BIRD™ screens and monitors valuable cell culture parameters for hundreds of cell lines from early stage, which helps scientists define the best clones sooner.
The C.BIRD device consists of a control box and a consumable C.BIRD lid for mixing culture. The device is compatible with a standard 96/24-well plate. The novel C.BIRD lid with 96/24 fluidic channels is inserted into a well plate. Via these fluidic channels, the control box exerts continuous reciprocal mixing in every well, each with working volumes of 150-200 μL for 96-well plates and 1000-1600 μL for 24 well-plates.
C.BIRD stands out as a compact yet automated laboratory instrument, weighing just 332g for a single control unit. The compact size of C.BIRD allows the device to run in a standard cell culture incubator. It also comes with one docking station, three control units and a user-friendly software for parameters control and monitoring. A connecting USB cable and a standard laptop for power supply (5V) and data transfer are all that are required to use C.BIRD.
