Superior cell recovery with a delicate touch

DESCRIPTION

The Cyto-Tek^® Cytocentrifuge offers better preservation of cellular structure than other cytocentrifuges, and delivers a consistently high rate of cellular recovery, which is important for accurate morphological evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid.¹

And by delivering automatic microprocessor-controlled acceleration, the Cyto-Tek^® Cytocentrifuge eliminates operator bias in assessments of cell fragility. In addition, you’ll increase productivity by virtually eliminating the need for multiple slides through 49, 196, and 429 mm² selectable viewing/target areas.

This uniquely designed cytocentrifuge requires minimal training, handles all routine specimens up to 12 mL with only one set of accessories, and accommodates a wide range of sample sizes via three different chamber sizes. Your lab technicians will appreciate the smooth, quiet operation, even at maximum speed, and the elimination of aerosol. Finally, with the Cyto-Tek^® Cytocentrifuge, you can expect years of trouble-free operation with virtually no maintenance required.
