CytoTrap
Introduction
Cytocentrifugation represents an approach to transfer cell particles on microscopic slides. In this respect, cytocentrifugation is being increasingly employed in clinical medicine and biological research including microbiology and hematology laboratories. Usually specific centrifuges enabling transfer of cells on microscopic slides are used. Commercially available cytocentrifuges fall into 2 categories: Those which remove the suspension fluid during cell sedimentation and those which retain it. These approaches exhibits both the advantages and disadvantages.
Description
CytoTrap represents an adaptor for cytocentrifugation in conventional centrifuges with the swinging rotor. Its construction enables to remove or retain suspension fluid during cell sedimentation depending on the user needs. It can be also used for the subsequent sample processing (e. g. sample staining and washing).
