At Analytica 2010, Seward Ltd will demonstrate its small tissue processing solutions. This range includes the Stomacher 80 microbag, designed for use in the Stomacher 80 microBiomaster to prepare and process biological samples at volumes as low as 250µL to 5 mL.
The key to the microBag’s micro-processing capabilities is its “V” shape, which enables it to be processed by a single paddle in the Stomacher machine. This design gives the scientist the choice of diluent-free sample processing, whilst ensuring a homogenized sample with maximal cell recovery.
The “V” shape also ensures the successful recovery of every drop of the processed sample, which is vital when processing volumes down to 250µL. Once homogenized, the sample can be pulled down to the tip of the V between thumb and forefinger, the homogenate can then be extracted using either a pasteur pipette, or by cutting the bag to a sufficient height to enable use of a standard pipette.
The Stomacher 80 microBiomaster provides flexible small tissue processing capabilities for clinical, life science, and microbiology applications. The microBiomaster utilizes all the Stomacher 80 bag range, in addition to its own Stomacher 80 microBag. This enables it to process samples from 250µL to 80mL.
