Pivoting Blade for Enhanced FlexibilityThe cell scraper boasts a unique pivoting or rotatable blade design, allowing users to adjust the scraping angle as needed. This flexibility ensures efficient contact with a wide range of surfaces found in tissue culture vessels, reducing cell damage during harvesting and detachment procedures.
Sterile, User-Friendly, and DisposableGamma irradiated and individually packed, these cell scrapers guarantee sterility and are DNase/RNase free, minimizing contamination risks. The single-use, disposable feature streamlines workflow, while the ergonomic handle supports comfortable manual operation during biological sample preparation.
FAQs of 180mm Long Plastic Cell Scrapers with 19mm Blade:
Q: How should the 180mm cell scraper be properly used for harvesting cells?
A: To harvest cells, hold the handle firmly and gently press the 19mm pivoting blade against the culture surface. Use smooth, even strokes to detach cells without damaging them. The blades adjustable angle ensures thorough contact and efficient cell collection from flasks, dishes, or plates.
Q: What precautions should be taken to maintain sterility with these cell scrapers?
A: Always open the individually wrapped packaging in a sterile environment, such as a laminar flow cabinet. Avoid touching the blade or handle to non-sterile surfaces. Since each scraper is single-use, dispose of it properly after use to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: When is it recommended to use these scrapers, and what is their shelf life?
A: These scrapers are suitable for cell harvesting, detachment, and sample preparation in biological labs whenever sterile conditions are required. They have a shelf life of up to 5 years, provided the packaging remains unopened and stored in cool, dry conditions between 2C and 40C.
Q: Where are these cell scrapers most effectively utilized?
A: The scrapers are ideal for use in cell culture applications, particularly for routine work in research and clinical laboratories. They are designed for scraping tissue culture flasks, dishes, and multiwell plates, accommodating a variety of experimental needs.
Q: What benefits does the pivoting blade design offer during sample collection?
A: The rotatable blade allows adjustable scraping angles, which enhances surface contact and cell retrieval efficiency. This design minimizes cellular damage and enables thorough collection from difficult-to-access corners, improving the overall yield and integrity of harvested cells.
Q: How are these scrapers packaged and in what quantities are they available?
A: Each scraper is individually wrapped to ensure sterility and ease of handling. They are available in packs of 50 or 100, making them suitable for both small-scale and high-throughput laboratories needing consistent supply and reliable sterility.
