In our lab, we focus on the development of novel imaging agents for cancer diagnostics. To accomplish this, we use cell lines to show binding and for implantation into mice. We purchased this fluid aspiration system from VacuuBrand because our previous unit broke. While this system is more expensive than most other aspirators, we thought that having a professional one would work best.

Aspiration in cell culture

Starting Material

Cell culture

Protocol Overview

We turn on the instrument and use it to aspirate cell media from cell culture flasks.

Tips

When emptying the bottle, make sure you turn off the unit and don't turn it back on until the bottle is replaced.

The instrument works great and displays a high suction volume. This is the best fluid aspiration system that we have ever had. Most of the other systems seem to break within 6 months of purchase, yet this system keeps going.
