Photonic BioSystems’ liquid sample preparation technology has extensive application in a variety of industries and subset markets.
The Liquid Sample Preparation technology is ideal for:
Harvesting cell-culture fluids:
- when highly valuable to ensure the collected media sample is not contaminated
- to minimize risk of fluid pooled from multiple sample vessels for efficacy getting batch co-contamination
- to clarify or sterile filter aspirated fluid harvested directly into a sterile vessel
Processing and collecting a controlled definitive volume of sample fluid:
- controlled by the suction tool and collection vessel implementation
- minimizes contamination of containers and handling materials used for sample transport or measurement
Withdrawing small volumes of fluid out of reagent vessels, filtering, and then dispensing finally:
- to remove potential particulates or microbial contaminants from the reagent
- uniquely dispense the filtered sample directly at the point of use e.g. into an assay vessel
- a considerable benefit for controlling contamination risks in cell culture, microbial, and bioassay work
For microbial testing or the bioassay of cells, users are able to:
Complete the entire MF procedure – from sample collection to analysis – without ever opening the Filter Assay Cartridge or exposing the sample to the external environment:
- All assay steps conducted in situ within the enclosed filter system
- Harvest organisms, administer culture media, incubate, analyze culture test results
- Cultures can be fed
- Culture fluids can be harvested
- Organisms can be cultured on – or within – the filter matrix
- Planktonic cultures of organisms in fluid state is directly applicable
