• No additional CO2 required for any type of media, although the PetakaG3™device can also be used in CO2 incubators• No added humidity required (not influenced by environmental dehydration)• The most secure cell culture device against contamination available today (no caps, no openings, no spills)• Robust structure (without breakable films)• Designed to transport live cells without requiring freezing and dry ice• Optimizes media and growth factor supplies• Offers 8 times more media volume per incubator capacity• Can provide up to 15 times more cell culture surface area per incubator capacity• Both PetakaG3 surfaces may be viewed together using any type of light microscope• In vitro cell dormancy is easily accomplished• Allows storage of pre-filled units that are ready to host cells• Easy to handle. Operates in any position. Completely safe & versatile• Each Petaka is individually bar coded for easy tracking avoiding cell damage and facilitating cell differentiation.
The PetakaG3™ LOT-ET bioreactor has all of the same basic characteristics as the PetakaG3™ LOT (Low Oxygen Transfer).In addition, a number of magnetic particles are present inside the main cell culture chamber.The Petaka™ ET bioreactor is used in conjunction with the ClearCell™ instrument to mechanically detach cells with minimal cell damage. This allows cell harvesting without using enzymes or chemicals, such as Trypsin-EDTA.This can be used to culture cells with special protocols such as those for stem cell cultures.
