Cell Washers

Cell washers are essential laboratory instruments used in cell analysis and disruption workflows. They automate the process of washing cells, removing unwanted debris, unbound antibodies, or other contaminants, ensuring consistent and efficient sample preparation for downstream applications. These instruments utilize centrifugation and aspiration techniques to gently and effectively wash cells, preserving cell viability and integrity. This precise washing action supports various scientific techniques, including flow cytometry, cell-based assays, and immunofluorescence, enabling researchers to obtain reliable and reproducible results. Cell washers streamline sample preparation workflows, reducing manual handling and improving overall experimental efficiency. Common applications for cell washers span diverse fields, including immunology, cell biology, and clinical research. Researchers utilize these instruments to prepare cells for... + More

Cell washers streamline sample preparation workflows, reducing manual handling and improving overall experimental efficiency. Common applications for cell washers span diverse fields, including immunology, cell biology, and clinical research. Researchers utilize these instruments to prepare cells for analysis by flow cytometry, where accurate cell counting and sorting are critical. In cell-based assays, cell washers ensure consistent removal of unbound reagents, minimizing background noise and enhancing assay sensitivity. Brands like Thermo Fisher and Bio-Rad offer a range of cell washers with varying capacities and features to accommodate different experimental needs, from small-scale research to high-throughput screening applications. Their automated functionality not only improves efficiency but also reduces variability, ensuring consistent results across experiments and contributing to the integrity of scientific data. ALT carries a wide selection of pre-owned, refurbished cell washers. Every unit includes a standard 90-day warranty, with the option to upgrade to a three-year warranty, plus ALT's lifetime support for as long as you own the equipment. Refurbished cell washers from ALT typically cost 50%-80% less than buying new, making it easier for labs to get the equipment they need without straining their budget. - Less
