The Vivacell Range of Gas Pressure Concentrators
for Volumes from 10 ml to 250 ml
Ultrafiltration and Cell Harvesting Filtration
Vivacell 70
Vivacell 70 combines the ease of use of
centrifugal devices with the flexibility and
control provided by pressurized ultrafiltration
cells. Vivacell 70 is inexpensive, quick and
easy to assemble, requires no tubing
connections or stirring mechanisms and can
be adapted to equipment availability or to
specific user preferences.
The longitudinal membrane inhibits fouling,
while the built-in dead stop will hinder
further concentration when residual volume
drops below 150 µl.
Vivacell 100
Vivacell 100 is the latest member of the
Vivacell family and bridges the volume range
between the Vivacell 70 and the Vivacell 250.
Vivacell 250
The Vivacell 250 is a totally new concept
for the concentration of larger biological
samples. This product offers numerous
advantages when compared to stirred cells.
The Vivacell 250 handles a volume range from
under 50 ml to 250 ml. Use free standing on
a bench top or in a refrigerator for maximum
simplicity, or use on laboratory shaker for
fastest concentrations.
The unique conical dead stop built into
the bottom of the membrane insert allows
for concentrations under 1 ml.
The gentle vortex action controls membrane
polarization while greatly reducing the shear
effects typical of stirring mechanisms.
The patented vertical membrane design
allows highest performance and unmatched
flexibility.
Vivacell 100 is a unique and innovative
concentrator for volumes from 20 ml to
100 ml, which utilizes pressure, centrifuge,
shaking or pressure-shake to rapidly
concentrate even samples with very high
particle loading.
Vivacell 100 is designed for centrifugal
concentration of samples up to 100 ml which
makes it the largest centrifugal unit available.
At the same time, the new construction
design allows for maximum centrifugal
force of 2.000+g to be used for even faster
concentration.
