With the Tomtec Cell Harvester 96, microplates or microtunes contents can be transferred via a unique and controlled aqueous wash cycle, designed to gently suspend adherent biologics. Each of the 96 wells is individually processed by a unique flow tip design which washes the well wall from the top down, while regulating the levels. The suspended material is aspirated from the bottom f the well and drawn directly into the sterile glass fiber filter map, which is pressure sealed between a double “O” ring arrangement. Biologics collected onto targets on a 8 x 12 grid with 9mm centers making intem quantifiable by a wide range of measuring instruments such as a scintillation counter.
We offer two versions of the Cell Harvester 96. The manual system is equipped with a simple push and hold control interface. The fully automated version can be programmed with up to 16 unique procedures.
Both versions are based on the same core industrial design.
This manual version is simple to use and maintain. It is equipped with a single reagent line (input) and vacuum line (waste output). It comes with a nine (9) liter reagent bottle along with an 11.5 liter High level float controlled vacuum Autotrap (to collect hot or cold waste). There is a simple four command push and hold interface for; (1) Pulse-Wash, (2) Continuous-Wash, (3) Continuous Aspirate and (4) Continuous Wash & Aspirate.
The automated version is equipped with dual nine (9) liter buffer inputs that are flow controlled (i.e., buffer1 and buffer2). If desired, the waste may be sent to one of two separate Autotraps with high-level float control for HOT or COLD waste containment. The embedded micro controller can be programmed via the moisture resistant membrane touch keypad with up to 16 unique work-flows which can be saved and recalled on demand from nonvolatile memory.
