TPP TubeSpin® Bioreactors
Item #:
ASTPTBSPINS
TPP's Packed Cell Vol (PCV) tube enables a quick and reproducible method of cell counting based on cell Vol. A quick centrifuge of the cell suspension pipetted into a PCV tube reveals a packed cell pellet in the PCV capillary, which can be easily read with the aid of an Easy read ruler. This non-subjective method is superior to old-fashioned and labor intensive hemacytometer based counting.
Functional Features:
- Cell suspension sample can be directly quantitated without dilution
- Multiple samples can be assayed simultaneously
- Load and spin as many PCV tubes as your centrifuge rotor holds
- Quick and reproducible
- Cells can be spun down in 1 minute at 2500xg
Ergonomic Features:
- Reproducible measurements
- Graduated capillary model offers immediate quantitation
- For finer quantitation: The Easy Read Ruler is used with non-graduated PCV tubes
- Eliminates expensive automated counters / fragile slides
- Avoids subjective microscope counting
Quality Assurance:
- Gamma-sterilized, DNAse/RNAse-Free, and pyrogen-Free
- Individually wrapped in peel-off plastic wrapper
Protocol Example:
- Uniformly mix cell suspension collected from TPPÂ flask/dish/bioreactor
- Pipet 1000µL of cell suspension into a PCV tube
- Spin multiple samples for 1 minute at 2500xg in a standard microcentrifuge
- Record pellet Vol and compare to pre-generated standard curve of cell numbers to packed cell Vol.
- Standard curve needs to be set up only once per cell line
- Pipet pre-determined cell suspension Vols (dilutions) into a hemacytometer
- Calculate and record the number of live cells for each concentration
- Pipet the identical Vols into the PCV tube, centrifuge and record the numeric in the capillary that corresponds to pellet Vol
- Plot the hemacytometer readings vs. the PCV readings for each Vol
- This Standard Curve doesn't need to be redone for the same cell line and moving forward the cell suspension harvested from TPP flasks/dishes/plates only need to be centrifuged in PCV tubes and assayed for cell pellet measurements
High density of cells
- With a very high density of the cells, the samples must not be diluted. You might simply reduce the sample Vol. Samples from the same series should be treated accordingly.Â
- For bacteria measurement the parameters have to be adjusted, for example higher g-force, smaller Vol, etc.
- Micro centrifuges with swing-out rotors are preferable.
