Two Innovative Plates for Cell Cultivation and Automation In addition, the CELLreactor™ is also suitable for the expansion of aerobic bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms in suspension culture and for storing components and liquids requiring gas exchange. The applied ECC200 code is the newest version of Datamatrix supporting advanced error correction algorithms with the capability to decipher partially damaged codes. Each frozen sample is thus given a unique, laser-written, machine-readable identity which has a high resistance to mechanical strain and chemicals. The Datamatrix Cryo Rack can hold $XWRPDWHG DQG (I¿ FLHQW +DQGOLQJ of Frozen Samples The OneWell Plate™ is a cell culture dish with one compartment that is particularly suitable for cultivating and analysing bacteria.

With its four individual chambers, the FourWell Plate™ offers space for four slides, thereby enabling experiments. parallel Cell and tissue samples cultivated on these slides can be supplied with fresh medium quickly and easily and examined directly under a microscope. Semi-circular cavities in the base of each well facilitate slide removal using tweezers. Spacers prevent the slides from slipping to the edge of the well and covering these cavities. Both plates are sterile and free of detectable pyrogens, human DNA and DNases/ RNases. Their external dimensions comply with ANSI microplate standards and the plates can be used with a variety of automated systems. Your Power for Health Greiner Bio-One offers a wide range of Cryo.s™ freezing tubes equipped with a Datamatrix tag on the tube bottom. 48 Cryo.s™. The footprint of the rack complies with ANSI microplate standards. The contained samples may thus be processed in automated handling systems. The rack offers also helpful features for HI¿ FLHQW DQG VHFXUH SURFHVVLQJ RI VDPSOH information. Windows in the rack bottom allow visibility and scanning of the Datamatrices of the contained Cryo.s™ without the necessity of tube removal.

With a pore size of 0.2 µm, the membrane not only keeps the contents of the tube completely sterile, but also ensures an excellent gas exchange. This can be reduced by closing individual openings. The tube enables the miniaturisation of large-scale setups while simultaneously maximising experiments. It can therefore be used as a small bioreactor for the cultivation of cells. Another advantage of the CELLreactor™ is that no transfer is required for cell harvest.
