Seward has announced that it will demonstrate its small tissue processing solutions in hall B2, stand 130, at Analytica 2010 in Munich, Germany.
This range includes the Stomacher 80 microbag, designed specifically for use in the Stomacher 80 Microbiomaster to prepare and process biological samples at volumes as low as 250ul.
The key to the Microbag's 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, while ensuring a completely homogenised sample with maximal cell recovery.
The V shape also ensures the recovery of every drop of the processed sample, which is vital when processing volumes down to 250ul.
Once homogenised, 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.
This sampling and extraction process is shown on the Seward website.
The Stomacher 80 Microbiomaster is said to provide flexible small tissue processing capabilities for clinical, life science and microbiology applications.
The Microbiomaster utilises all the Stomacher 80 bag range, in addition to its own Stomacher 80 Microbag.
This enables it to process samples from 250ul to 80ml.
