Centrifuge accessory pack

DC8AP – When settling working with cells of relatively low density, such as lymphocytes, the chamber should be spun in a centrifuge equipped with a microplate carrier. A centrifuge accessory pack is available for this purpose. It consists of two adapters and a counterweight, allowing use of one or two chambers in the centrifuge. (Note that the counterweight balances only the chamber, so both adaptors must always be used.)

 Stock# DC8AP

These components are also available individually.

 DC8CA – centrifuge adaptor.

 DC8CW – counterweight

Hydrophobically Masked Slides and Wicking Media

 DC8SC – microscope slides with enhanced binding properties and a hydrophobic mask around the eight settling sites. These slides improve cell adherence and also restrict pipetted solutions to individual sites. After the cells have settled and the slide has been removed from the chamber, different solutions can be applied to the cells without crosstalk. Sold in boxes of 30.

 DC8WF1 – prepunched filter paper that acts as a wicking agent for the cell suspension media. Sold in boxes of 50.

 DC8G – Replacement gasket for the DC8 chamber.
