The CP02 cryoPREP^® Automated Dry Pulverizer uses a calibrated and controlled mechanical force to cryofracture flash-frozen tissues within a mass range of 15 mg to 2 g. The dry pulverization process disrupts the extra-cellular tissue matrix and increases the tissue surface area, thus improving the extraction efficiency of biomolecules, while minimizing sample loss during the process. The increased surface area reduces the distance a stabilizing extraction buffer need to diffuse during subsequent lysis steps.

The Shandon Cytospin 3 Centrifuge offers excellent preparations. As the centrifuge produces a monolayer of cells within a clearly defined area, the cytofunnels load in a tilted position to prevent cell loss. They also move to an upright position during operation to deposit cells. Additionally, the Cytospin 3 is equipped with a sealed head protects the user from the danger of aerosoling pathogenic samples. Within the safety of a microbiological cabinet, the cytoclips load and unload easily without contact with the sample. The Shandon Cytospin 3 centrifugeis a versatile and reliable cytocentrifuge which is ideal suited for applications inclusing hematology, oncology, cytology, rheumatology, virology, microbiology and immunochemistry. The Shandon Cytospin III was the first centrifuge to use low-speed centrifugal forces to separate and deposit monolayer of cells on slides, the Cytospin 3 centrifuge helps maintain cellular integrity. Simultaneously spinning up to 24 samples in 12 chambers, this Shandon centrifuge uses microtitre strips. A truly flexible instrument, the Cytospin 3 centrifuge has disposable sample chambers which are available in sizes to match the collection requirements of a wide range of samples. The Shandon Cytospin 3 centrifuge is useful in application areas such as hematology, oncology, cytology, histology, rheumatology, virology, serology, microbiology, and immunochemistry.
