Cell Reservoir Improves and Simplifies the Handling of Suspended Cells

Best Suited for Biological Assays requiring Intact Cell Membranes

The Cell Reservoir is a stand-alone bench top storage device that has been designed to maintain the vitality of suspended cells and reduce cell culture work. Due to its compact size, the cell reservoir can be easily placed near the experimental patch clamp setup and be used to store cells in a non-clustered highly vital state and an optimal cell environment for up four hours.

Suspended cells are stored in a Teflon bowl that is mounted into the device. The cell suspension is then aspirated through a low protein binding pipette tip at pre-defined aspirate volumes, pipet speed and pipet intervals. The Cell Reservoir comes with predefined settings that have been optimized for HEK 293 and CHO-K1 cell lines and sample volumes (500 µl to 3700 µl) to maintain the cells at high vitality and low clustering.

Program editing software is also provided and can be used to modify and add maintenance programs. These programs can be simply uploaded into the Cell Reservoir device via USB connection.

The Cell Reservoir facilitates automated and manual patch clamp, high-throughput screening, flow-cytometry and other fluorescence-based assays.
