Product news

A small, flexible and fast dispenser, Cell Dispense from Genetix Ltd (New Milton, UK) has been specially designed to deliver precise quantities of viable cells in culture media.

With a volumetric range of 1 µl to 350 µl, it can fill a plate in less than one minute. A range of reservoir sizes and interchangeable manifolds allows its use with 96, 384 and 1536 well plate formats. To ensure sterility of operation, a small footprint means the unit fits easily into laminar flow cabinets.

Although specifically designed for the dispensing of cells, Cell Dispense can also be used for the delivery of culture media alone, as well as other reagents. Coupling with an optional stacker system – Qstack - extends the unit’s capacity and allows unattended plate delivery and lid management.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
