TPP Tissue Culture FlasksTPP Tissue Culture Flasks are designed for superior performance and ease of use. In particular, great importance has been placed on optimizing the cell culture growth properties, accessibility to the entire growth surface, and convenience for the researcher. The unique angled design allows for full access with a cell scraper to provide 100% cell retrieval, and the completely flat growth surface gives uniform and even cell growth without clumping. Two cap styles are available; a filter cap with a 0.22um hydrophobic membrane and a vent cap that makes an audible click when loosened to the position for optimal gas exchange. TPP polystyrene TC flasks are available in 25cm2, 75cm2, 150cm2, and 300cm2 sizes. |

TPP Tissue Culture DishesInnovative features and outstanding cell growth properties make the TPP Tissue Culture Dishes the ideal choice for adherent cell culturein academia or industry. TheseTC treated dishes have a serrated grip-edge around the middle of the bottom half of the dish, that ensures the dishes will not be dropped or contaminated by accidentally lifting the dish lid only. The bottom edges of these TPP polystyrene TC dishes have vents which allow airflow between stacked dishes for uniform growth conditions and that prevent condensation and sticking between dishes. Other great features include numeric “clock” markings on the bottom of the dish for quick orientation, and double marking areas for easy labeling. |

TPP Tissue Culture PlatesTPP Tissue Culture Plates are designed for enhanced cell growth properties, consistency, and ease of use by the researcher. These multi-well polystyrene TC plates have black alphanumeric labeling for easy well identification, and a textured grip area for mistake-free handling. Dual yellow marking areas allow for easy labeling, and the unidirectional lids can only be placed in the correct position. A vented ridge around the bottom edge of the plates facilitates secure stacking while allowing airflow between plates for consistent growth conditions and to prevent condensation. Sterile 6-well, 12-well, 24-well, and 96-well plate formats are available. |

TPP Peel-Off and Re-Closable Tissue Culture FlasksTPP Peel-Off and Re-Closable Tissue Culture Flasksare the only polystyrene TC flasks available that have an opening on the roof of the flask that allows complete and uninhibited access to the entire growth surface. This feature makes these flasks an ideal solution for applications in which a specific subpopulation of cells must be isolated, or when a complete layer of cells or tissue must be harvested intact. The Peel-Off Flasks have a single-use plastic foil that can be peeled back when the cells or tissue or ready for harvesting. The Re-Closable Flasks have a multiple-use hatch that can be opened and closed repeatedly and safely with proper aseptic technique. |

TPP Bioreactor TubesTPP Bioreactor Tubes are ideal for the high throughput screening and optimization of suspension cell system process development. Each 50ml bioreactor tube cap has a built-in 0.22µm hydrophobic membrane to maintain sterility and facilitate gas exchange. Growth conditions can be finely controlled by means of five cap holes of differing size that can be selectively sealed for gas transfer and media optimization. |

TPP 10cm2 Tissue Culture Flask/TubeThe innovative design of the TPP 10cm2 Tissue Culture Flask/Tube incorporates the features of a tissue culture flask and a 50ml conical centrifuge tube into a single multi-functional culture vessel. Each Flask/Tube has a flat 10cm2 treated growth surface that is ideal for small scale experiments, working with primary cell lines, or bringing up frozen cells out of storage. If the cultured cells need to be harvested and pelleted, the 10cm2 Flask/Tube can also be spun in a standard 50ml conical tube rotor or adapter (up to 1,200 x g). This not only saves time but eliminates the chance of contamination during the transfer step. |

TPP Cell ScrapersTPP Cell Scrapershave a pivoting head that enables the blade angle to be changed effortlessly with a slight twist of the fingers while still in contact with the surface being scraped. This allows for easy and thorough cell retrieval from vessels of all shapes and sizes without having to constantly re-position the scraper or culture vessel. The TPP Cell Spatula has a fixed angle blade ideal for scraping cells or lifting intact monolayers. |

TPP Easy Read PCV Cell Counting SystemThe new TPP Easy Read PCV Cell Counting System from MIDSCI provides a quicker, less tedious alternative to counting cells than using a microscope and hemacytometer. Users simply load a sample of cell suspension into the PCV Tube, spin for 1 minute in a microcentrifuge to pellet the cells into the capillary at the bottom of the tube, and then accurately determine the cell pellet volume with the “Easy Read” measuring device. The cell pellet volume can then be utilized in conjunction with pre-determined conversion factors to quickly calculate cell number, protein production, or metabolic activity. In this way, the new “Easy Read” PCV System provides several advantages over traditional cell counting methods including speed, precision, reproducibility, flexibility, and reduced user hand and eye strain. |

TPP Packed Cell Volume PCV TubesThe TPP Packed Cell Volume PCV Tubes from MIDSCI provide a quicker, less tedious alternative to counting cells than using a microscope and hemacytometer. Users simply load a sample of cell suspension into the PCV Tube, spin for 1 minute in a microcentrifuge to pellet the cells into the capillary at the bottom of the tube, and then read the cell pellet volume. The cell pellet volume can then be utilized in conjunction with pre-determined conversion factors to quickly calculate cell number, protein production, or metabolic activity. |

TPP Serological PipettesTPP Serological Pipettes offer several advantages over traditional serological pipettes. Their shorter ergonomic design requires less shoulder and arm lift by the user, and makes these pipettes easier to maneuver in the cell culture hood or at the bench. Seamless, one-piece construction eliminates the possibility of leaks commonly experienced with other serological pipettes with welded seams. Each size (1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 25ml, 40ml, and 50ml) is color coded for easy identification, and is packaged in convenient dispenser boxes. |

TPP 25/40ml and 50/70ml Reservoir Serological PipettesThe new TPP 25/40ml and 50/70ml Reservoir Serological Pipettes from MIDSCI offer large pipetting volumes in a compact, ergonomic design. These serological pipettes have reservoirs that augment total volume capacity without adding proportional length to the pipettes, thereby keeping them shorter and easier to handle than standard serological pipettes of equivalent volume. TPP Reservoir Serological Pipettes have reverse graduations for ascending or descending pipetting, and are packaged in convenient color-coded dispenser boxes. |

TPP Rapid Filtermax Bottle FiltersFast filtration is the hallmark of TPP Rapid Filtermax Bottle Filters from MIDSCI. These bottle filters possess a large, square 49cm2 PES membrane (0.2mm) for sterile filtering cell culture media and other solutions. Because of the large surface area of the 49cm2 membrane, filtration time is approximately 20% faster than circular units of equivalent volume. Additionally, the PES membrane offers extremely low protein binding, and the square bottles are sturdy, store efficiently, and are easy to handle. Sizes include 500ml, 250ml, and the new 125ml Rapid Filtermax Bottle Filter. |
