Introduction of a quantitative microsampling device
Microsampling Wing™ × Microsampling Windmill™
The MSW2™ series offer tools for easily fractionating a predetermined amount of plasma from a small amount of blood, for nonclinical animal experiments.
The MSW2™ is designed based on the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) to minimize the burden to animals.
Also, since the entire process, from sampling to fractionation of a predetermined amount of plasma, can be completed with devices only, so human errors are minimized.
The MSW2™ consists of the Microsampling Wing™ blood sampling device, and the Microsampling Windmill™, a specialized holder that allows for efficient use of the Microsampling Wing™.
Features
- Easy microsampling
Procedures from sampling to quantitative fractionation are possible without any high-level training. - Reduce microsampling process
Since Microsampling Wing™ has a high solvent resistance, re-measurement is not required before
deproteination and other processes subsequent to quantitative fractionation. - Enhanced productivity
A Microsampling Windmill™ simultaneously centrifuges and puts up to 14 Microsampling Wing™s.
