High Throuhgput Cell Harvesting
30 August 2006
Brandel multi-channel Cell Harvesters routinely perform receptor binding assays, receptor screening and other procedures that require multiple or simultaneous filtering of cells or membranes from micro-titre plates, well blocks or test tubes.
The high throughput 96 wells cell harvester accepts a range of interchangeable aspirating heads from test tube heads with long needles, to micro titre heads with 4" needles, which are suitable for micro titre plates or deep well blocks.
When it comes to high throughput cell harvesting you cannot beat a Brandel for reliability and reproducibility. Over twenty-five years of continuous refinement has gone into the 96 well model, available in a format to suit any reader. A choice of options and accessories enables you to order a custom built system harvesters at an off the shelf price. The practical, open design lets you keep an eye on aspiration and wash cycles. The use of Teflon tubing from the cell harvester probe through the filter block and up to the filter paper greatly minimizes the chance of sticky substances adhering to the inside of tubing.
Most 96-tubed models have shut-off valves to control the aspiration and wash cycles of each quadrant, allowing filtering of 24, 48, 72 or 96 samples as needed.
Brandel cell harvesters come complete, ready for use, and include wash media pump and wash bottle, waste reservoir, all tubing and connections, 1 box of filter paper of your choice and 1 test tube rack. Brandel cell harvesters have been in use for over twenty-five years and are considered the standard for the industry. Semat has customers still using machines that are 11 years old. A 5-year parts and labour warranty is offered by Semat on all regular and manual Brandel receptor binding harvesters.
