FAQ – CELL RESERVOIR

What is the Cell Reservoir for?

The Cell Reservoir is a storage device for suspended cells. It keeps the cells in a non-clustered state and at high vitality for several hours (> 90 % trypan blue vitality test). It can be placed near the experimental setup.
The cells are supplied in a Teflon bowl that is mounted to the device. Cell suspension is aspirated and dispensed with a pipet tip at pre-defined volumes, pipet speed and pipet intervals. We recommend the Cell Reservoir to customers who do not use all cells of one preparation at once - e.g., for customers with a manual patch clamp setup.
