Frequently asked questions for Cell Scrapers & Lifters for Cell Culture
What's the difference between Small, Large, and Cell Lifter?
Small Scraper (18mm blade) works for small/medium flasks. Large Scraper (30mm blade) handles larger flasks and roller bottles. Cell Lifter (19mm blade, wide bevel) is best for dishes and larger cell clusters. Choose based on vessel size and cell type.
Are these reusable or single-use?
They come sterilized and individually wrapped as single-use tools to prevent cross-contamination and ensure optimal safety for your cultures.
Why is the swivel blade design important?
The swivel blade maintains consistent contact with the growth surface, reducing cell damage from uneven scraping angles and preserving cell health for better downstream analysis.
Can these be used with both adherent and suspension cells?
These are designed for adherent cells (cells that stick to the flask surface). Suspension cells are already in the medium and don't need scraping.
How long does a case of 100 last for typical lab use?
Usage varies by facility. Research labs doing daily cultures might use 10-20 per week. A case typically lasts 5-10 weeks for active labs.
