C-CULTURE SAVVY TRESTLE
This device is developed to ease cell growth measurement in plant cell suspension cultures. Suitably used in the profusely growing cell cultures, it adopts a non-destructive approach in which the growth of cells is determined by sedimented cell volumes (SCV) after the flasks containing the cells are tilted at a fixed position. The measurement is taken based on the readings of the ruler attached to the device which has been calibrated accordingly to the respective volume of cell culture. In addition, the two-stage built-in glass and acrylic platforms are designed together to enable visual examination of bottom view of the flask for cell opacity observation. To ease the photo capturing of flask bottom view, the device is equipped with a reflective mirror which is placed at the base of the platform. It is also created to enable the measurement of three flasks at once which is suitable for simultaneous observation of three replication results. Its simplicity and convenience in data recording offer a rapid analysis of cell growth with time-saving properties. Due to its practicality and non-destructive nature, this device also offers source-saving properties in routine analysis of cell suspension culture growth. Indeed, the use of the device could confer benefits in the light of conservations in cell culture studies.
