Equipment for a streamlined workflow in cell culture

Successful manipulation of cells relies on the ability to maintain sterility and to avoid cross-contamination between cell lines. This requires proficiency in aseptic technique, which greatly depends on a highly controlled workflow and a well organised work area inside the biological safety cabinet.

The Stand for the PIPETBOY and VACUBOY significantly supports streamlined and organised working when pipetting and aspirating cell culture media. Key advantages of the Stand include:

• An organised set-up in the clean bench keeps the liquid handling tools within reach for fast and safe handling of cells and ensures an efficient use of the sterile area.
   
• Economic use of sterile pipettes without risk of contamination as the Stand allows users to park the VACUBOY and PIPETBOY with inserted pipette.
   
• PIPETBOY and VACUBOY are held in an ergonomic position making work less tiring.
   
• Liquid handling tools are kept in a secure position so that accidental falling and breaking are avoided.
   
• Stainless steel construction ensures easy cleaning and sterilisation as well as durability.

The Stand integrates the serological pipetting aid PIPETBOY and the vacuumbased aspirator VACUBOY into a complete liquid handling station for cell culture. These high-value tools are therefore bundled into a Liquid Handling Set (“basic” or “plus”) that also includes the VACUSAFE aspiration station.
