Enhance Your Cell Preparation - Proven Reliability

arrow10Cyto-Tek® Centrifuge CYTO-TEK® Cytocentrifuge

Three Chamber sizes for samples from 0.1 to 12 ml:

  • 1, 6, and 12 ml disposable chambers accommodate a wide range of sample sizes.
  • One size fits all: the 1 ml filter combines versatility with convenience; handles all routine specimens up to 1 ml with only one set of accessories.
  • User-selectable, rectangular viewing/target areas: 49, 196, and 420mm2 essentially eliminates the need for multiple slides.
  • Viewing area up to 14 x 30 mm.

Place acceleration, automatically controlled:

  • Ensures specimen integrity through automatic, microprocessor-controlled, optional acceleration.
  • Paced acceleration is “Always On”, eliminating operator bias in assessing cell fragility.
  • Accommodates fragile cells requiring delicate handling.
  • Speed adjusts from 500 to 2,500 rpm in 100-rpm increments.
  • Programmable times range from 1 to 60 minutes in 1 minute increments.

Digital controls:

  • Speed and time settings are retained in memory with a battery backup.
  • Streamlined touch pad and 2 digital displays control and monitor all functions.
  • Easy to use, easy to train.

Forced airflow control:

  • Unique design, no rotor cover to sterilize
  • Eliminates aerosol for greater operator safety.

Reliable:

  • Manufactured with the same quality care as all other Tissue-Tek® instruments.
  • Enjoy years of trouble-free operation with virtually no maintenance required.

Efficiently silent:

  • Even at maximum speed, the Cyto-Tek runs smoothly and quietly.

Superior clinical performance:

  • A consistently high rate of cellular recovery is extremely important for accurate morphological evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Well-defined rectangular target area for optimal results.
  • Better preservation of cellular structure.
  • With a G force of up to 735, the Cyto-Tek can handle low molecular weight organisms such as microbacteria and viruses.
  • Operates on 115 VAC, 60 Hz.

Cyto-Tek® Centrifuge Funnel Chamberarrow10 Cyto-Tek® Centrifuge Funnel Chamber

Enhance your cell recovery up to 100%

  • Highly polished specimen chamber that minimizes cell attachment.
  • 33% thicker clamp wall (for greater claming tension) that provides paced fluid absorption.
  • Window ledge to help secure filter and keep cells in target area.
  • “V” cutout to add rigidity helping to hold funnel chamber in place.
