Product Description
ScreenCell® CY kit is devoted to cellular biology studies. It comprises a set of single use filtration device individually packed, for isolation of circulating rare cells together with a specific buffer; a collection tube is also included.
Before filtration, 3 ml blood samples must be diluted in 4 ml of the ScreenCell® FC filtration buffer for fixed cells. An additional 1.6 ml of 1X PBS is filtered for removing debris from the filter.
At the end of filtration, the nozzle/holder of the ScreenCell® CY device is unclipped and removed from the filtration module. The filter is then released onto a standard microscopy glass slide by pushing down a rod located at the bottom part of the filtration device. Cytological studies such as staining, cell enumeration, immunocytochemistry, FISH assays, etc… can be conducted directly on the filter, the filtration area being delimited by a more rigid O ring.
