Cell-Chip

Two countings per Cell-Chip

The disposable plastic counting chamber Cell-Chip looks like the established Neubauer “improved” counting chamber. It allows for a counting of cells of a wide range of different sizes: leukocytes, thrombocytes and erythrocytes, yet also bacteria, fungal spores and pollen. What makes the Cell-Chip more favourable than the traditional glass counting chamber is the fact that the user no longer needs to use cover slips or clean the chip. At the same time, a safer handling can be ensured as contact with infectious material (for example HIV/AIDS, Ebola) is virtually impossible.

The Cell-Chip represents a high-precision disposable counting chamber made of high quality plastics allowing a manual determination of the cell count. It includes two independent counting chambers with separate injection areas for one sample each. The depth of the chambers is strictly predetermined, which allows a reproduction of counting at any time. The counting chambers match the Neubauer “improved” counting chamber. The Cell-Chip has been designed for single use and should be used directly after opening the packing. Due to its single-use feature, there is no need to clean the chip or to interrupt the work flow. The Cell-Chip can be used for all established automatic counters.

Blood Separation

The isolation of cells or subcellular particles is the first step for diagnostics or investigations in cell functionality or gene expression.

The enrichment of cells from complex biological mixturessuch as blood and other body fluids requires the use of special separation solutions. The blood sample has to be poured carefully over the separation medium in a time consumptive and laborious procedure.

To simplify this process Bioswisstec provides a centrifuge tube with an incorporated porous barrier. This feature prevents a mixture of the sample material with the separation medium. After centrifugation a recontamination of the enriched cell fraction with unwanted blood components is excluded.
