CytoFuge® 2 Cytocentrifuge System
The StatSpin CytoFuge® 2 is a low-cost personal cytocentrifuge. It has simple understandable controls and new snap-seal Filter Concentrators that make operation easy. Samples are processed quickly, silently and conveniently on any bench or in a safety cabinet. Results are consistent: easy to scan monolayer cell presentations of excellent morphologic detail.
StatSpin CytoFuge® 2 is ideal for a complete range of body fluids:
• Pleural Fluids
• Fine Needle
• Sputum Aspirates
• Urine
• Bronchial Washings
• Synovial Fluids
• Peritoneal Fluids
• Pericardial Fluids
• Cerebrospinal Fluids
Features
• Compact and Quiet – fits in small area or safety hood
• Reduces exposure to biohazards with covered rotor and chamber gaskets
• Optimal control acceleration and braking
• Cover Interlock System prevents operation with cover open
• Patented rotor design eliminates trunnion carriers or bulky clamps
• Accurate and Repeatable – speed and cycle time controls accommodate a range of applications
The CytoFuge 2 offers a choice of filter or gasket-seal concentrator formats. The system handles samples from routine body fluid preps to research methods involving application of multiple cell concentrations or controls on the same slide. A broad range of selectable speed and run times enables precise replication of most procedures developed on other cytocentrifuge equipment.
Disposable Filter Concentrators
Save time and improve results by eliminating the need to clean and sterilize reusable sample chambers. The device includes a unique hinged backing plate and an integral filter card which absorbs fluid at a controlled rate during the spin cycle. Cells are gently concentrated in a monolayer onto a 7 mm diameter area on the slide with minimal cell loss to the filter.
• Sample volume range 50 to 400 μL
• Self-rocking feature prevents premature absorption by the filter – improves cell recovery.
• Stainless steel clip eliminates bulky trunnion carriers, provides consistent results.
Reusable/Disposable Cell Concentrators
Available in 1 and 3-well formats, these silicone gasket-sealed devices are made of transparent plastic; they are competitively priced for disposable use. Autoclavable versions are also offered.
• Sample Volume Range
1-well Cell Concentrator 300 to 800 μL
3-well Cell Concentrator 50 to 200 μL
• 3-well Concentrator permits application of different samples, different concentrations or controls on the same slide.
• Reuse capability reduces operating costs.
• Autoclavable version
