Description of Invention:
Available for licensing is a dissection tool for cutting cell aggregates into smaller portions for further colony propagation. It is comprised of a handle attached to a rotatable shaft fitted with a cutting blade. The technology describes a safe and practical device that provides maximum product yield by preventing material from accumulating between the cutting surfaces. It also provides for more uniform cut colonies using lesser number of cuts than existing stem cell cutting instruments.
Applications:
Makes possible the sectioning of cultured embryonic stem cells into smaller fractions for their transfer to new culture medium and subsequent incubation.
Market:
Researchers worldwide who utilize cultured embryonic stem cells.
Licensing Status: Available for non-exclusive licensing.
