The PCV tube provides a fast and reproducible method for measuring cell volume, making it ideal for monitoring tissue growth (cell mass). In production processes where multiple parameters need to be optimized simultaneously, numerous samples are typically generated. In such cases, the PCV tube paired with the "easy read" device offers an efficient analysis solution.
A brief centrifugation step (1 minuteat2,500 gx) is all that is required to form a pellet within the calibrated capillary, which can then be measured using the "easy read"device. Dimensions (in mm): 10,5 x 43 Material: PS Version: With graduations, without cap
Features of the PCV Tube
- Calibrated capillary, with some models featuring volume graduations - Compatible with micro-centrifuges - Additional caps are available (TP 87008)
The PCV system provides a fast, easy-to-use, reproducible, and more accurate alternative to manual cell counting. The PCV-tubes enable the determination of the packed cell volume (PCV) in a cell suspension, resulting in absolute data correlating with parameters like protein content, cell count, metabolic activity and others.
