CELLTREAT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CELLTREAT from 3G Electric.
What are CELLTREAT foam stoppers used for?
CELLTREAT foam stoppers, such as the white polyester foam plug (MPN 229907), are used to close culture flasks, tubes, and other vessels. They allow gas exchange while preventing contamination. The stoppers are autoclavable, so they can be sterilized before use. With a 1-inch top and bottom diameter and 1.06-inch overall height, they fit standard openings. These are commonly used in microbiology and cell culture applications where a breathable closure is needed.
What is the difference between CELLTREAT inoculating needles and cell spreaders?
CELLTREAT inoculating needles (e.g., MPN 229615) are used to transfer microbial cultures by picking up a sample and streaking it onto a dish or tube. They are made of yellow polypropylene and measure 8 45/64 inches in overall height. CELLTREAT cell spreaders (e.g., MPN 229617) are used to evenly distribute cells across the surface of a culture dish or tube after inoculation. They are green polypropylene and measure 5 71/100 inches in overall height. Both are single-use lab tools for microbiology workflows.
Are CELLTREAT pipette stands compatible with all pipettes?
CELLTREAT pipette stands are designed for specific pipette types. For example, the clear ABS pipette stand (MPN 827P60) is intended for MLA pipettes, including models compatible with Ovation and MLA manufacturer part numbers. It measures 9 1/2 inches in length, 9 inches in height, and 4 inches in diameter. The wall mount (MPN 827P88) holds a pipette controller and includes 3M adhesive strips for installation. The kickstand (MPN 827P86) is designed for pipette controllers such as MPN 9020-4011. Check the specific model compatibility before ordering.
What material are CELLTREAT cell spreaders made of?
CELLTREAT cell spreaders are made of polypropylene. They are available in green, with an overall height of 5 71/100 inches. The polypropylene construction provides chemical resistance and is suitable for single-use applications in cell culture. These spreaders are designed for use with dishes and tubes to distribute cells evenly during seeding or plating.
Can CELLTREAT foam stoppers be autoclaved?
Yes, CELLTREAT foam stoppers are autoclavable. The white polyester foam plug (MPN 229907) is specifically designed for sterile applications and can be autoclaved to maintain aseptic conditions. This allows users to reuse the stoppers if desired, although they are often used as single-use items. Autoclavability makes them suitable for repeated sterilization cycles in laboratory settings.
