TPP Plastics
MIDSCI carries an extensive selection of superior quality TPP plastics built to boost cell health and provide reliable experimental results.
Our line of TPP products, including cell culture plasticware, are made from the highest purity TPP plastics and are innovatively modeled to improve the generation of consistent and reproducible data.
Ergonomically designed to offer better comfort and sample handling, our TPP plasticwares secure optimal cell retrieval for more efficient downstream applications.
Our TPP plastics, including cell and tissue cultureware, offer a flatter, more consistent growth surface for a more consistent monolayer as well.
Furthermore, insulated vents ensure even temperature distribution when stacked.
Finally, ridged gripping surface on dishes and plates facilitate handling, high visibility, painted alphanumerics, graduations and writing surfaces.
TPP PCV Easy Read Cell Counting System
The TPP PCV Easy Read Cell Counting System provides a fast, reproducible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional hemacytometer counting and expensive automated counters. Using Packed Cell Volume (PCV) tubes, suspension cells can be quickly centrifuged to form a visible pellet that is measured directly in the tube. With either graduated PCV tubes or the Easy Read Ruler, researchers can achieve accurate, objective cell counts without the time, labor, or subjectivity of microscope-based methods.
Designed for versatility, the TPP PCV System supports mammalian, insect, and microbial cell cultures, offering consistent results across multiple cell lines. The method requires only a 1-minute spin at 2500×g in a standard centrifuge, enabling multiple samples to be processed in parallel with minimal effort. By establishing a one-time standard curve for each cell line, labs can streamline workflows and eliminate repetitive counting steps.
Key Advantages:
- Quick and reproducible results without dilution or subjective analysis
- Compatible with bacteria, yeast, mammalian, and insect cell suspensions
- Enables parallel processing of multiple samples for higher throughput
- Disposable, sterile PCV tubes eliminate cleaning and cross-contamination risks
- Cost-effective and reliable compared to automated cell counters
- Sterile, gamma-irradiated, and certified DNAse/RNAse- and pyrogen-free
The ergonomic design of the PCV tubes ensures precise measurement, while the soft polyethylene construction prevents sample damage. Whether using the graduated capillary model for direct readouts or the Easy Read Ruler for fine-scale quantitation, the PCV Cell Counting System offers unmatched accuracy and user convenience.
Ideal for academic, clinical, and industrial labs, the TPP PCV Easy Read System simplifies cell culture workflows, reduces waste, and enhances productivity—making it the modern replacement for outdated hemacytometer counting.
