Cell Harvesters
(former Inotech Harvester)
Originally developed in cooperation with the Basel Institute for Immunology, the harvester is used world-wide for various glass fiber filtration applications, for example, cell proliferation assays, membrane or precipitate collection, or receptor-ligand complex collection. Swiss precision, design and quality manufacturing go into all instruments.
Important Features
- Complete system including harvester, vacuum bottles, and a vacuum/compressor pump.
- Harvester base provides interchangeable formats for 96-well, 48-well and 24-well microtiter plate and microtube harvesting with purchase of additional plate formats.
- Processiong heads that cut and isolate filter discs from filter sheets (standard format), or handle Wallac filter sheets, or handle Unifilter filter plates for both Packard and Wallac counters.
- Harvest is a single microtiter plate in less than 1 minute from start of aspiration to finish of washing.
- Short aspirating skinless steel tubes maximizing capture of the target molecule on the filter.
- Compatible for use with a variety of counters including all standard liquid scintillation counters, the Wallac Microbeta(TM) counter, the Packard Matrix(TM) counter, "Hidex" Plate Chameleon conter, PerkinElmer Omnifilter, phospho-imaging and gamma counters.
The connectorate Cell Harvester is ideal for:
- Cell Proliferation Assays
- Mixed Lymphocyte Culture (MLC) Assays
- Receptor-binding Assays
- Single Stranded Template DNA Harvesting
