Cell Lifters, Sterile Polyethylene, 180 mm Handle

Description

The Cell Lifters, Sterile Polyethylene, 180 mm Handle, also known as cell culture lifters, cell harvesting tools or disposable cell scrapers, are designed for gentle detachment and collection of adherent cells during laboratory cell culture procedures. Manufactured by Moxcare, these cell lifters are made from white high-density polyethylene (HDPE), providing a lightweight and practical tool for routine biological sample handling. Cell lifters are commonly used to detach adherent cells from culture vessel surfaces, particularly where researchers wish to avoid or minimise enzymatic dissociation methods. Careful use may help preserve cell characteristics, depending on the cell type and harvesting protocol.

The instrument features a 180 mm handle and 20 mm blade, offering convenient reach and controlled contact with compatible tissue culture surfaces. These cell lifters are designed for use with tissue culture-treated dishes and 6-well flat-bottom tissue culture-treated plates, supporting sample collection across routine laboratory workflows. Each cell lifter is sterile, individually wrapped and disposable, helping reduce contamination risks during cell harvesting and sample preparation.

The product is sterilised by gamma irradiation and is listed as DNase-free, RNase-free and non-pyrogenic, making it suitable for research procedures where these product characteristics are important. Cell lifters are particularly useful for collecting adherent cell populations, harvesting cell lysates and preparing biological samples for downstream molecular biology and biochemical analysis. For optimal results, use gentle, controlled movements when detaching cells. Excessive pressure may damage cells or the culture vessel surface. The effect on cell viability should be assessed for the relevant cell line and procedure.

Safety Precautions: Maintain aseptic handling techniques and follow appropriate biological laboratory safety procedures. Inspect the individual packaging before use and do not reuse or resterilise unless explicitly permitted by the manufacturer. This product is intended for laboratory and research applications only and should be used under appropriate supervision. The item is supplied as the selected Moxcare Sterile Polyethylene Cell Lifter only. Cell culture dishes, 6-well plates, culture media, reagents and additional laboratory accessories are not included unless specified separately.

LabChoice Australia supplies Moxcare Cell Lifters and laboratory cell culture consumables for molecular biology laboratories, biotechnology research facilities, microbiology laboratories, universities and scientific research institutions requiring reliable tools for cell harvesting and biological sample preparation.
