AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS OR DIFFERENTIATED CELLS

摘要

The invention provides an automated system for producing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from adult somatic cells. Further the system is used for producing differentiated adult cells from stem cells. The invention system is useful for isolating somatic cells from tissue samples producing iPSC lines from adult differentiated cells by reprogramming such cells identifying the pluripotent reprogrammed adult cells among other cells and expanding and screening the identified reprogrammed cells.
