Cell culture sample preparation system Duetz

manualfor microbiologylaboratory

The Duetz-System is an integrated, easy-to-use, and cost-effective technology platform for the rapid handling and growth of large numbers of microbial strains, clonal libraries, and mutant banks in 24- or 96-well microtiter plates. The system enables the growth in microplates of thousands of strains simultaneously without excessive repetitive handling: all handling is performed in parallel for sets of 24 or 96 strains. No robotic equipment is required. The system was originally developed and validated at the Institute of Biotechnology of the ETH Zurich. Performance characteristics An integrated, easy-to-use, and cost-effective technology platform for the rapid handling and growth of large numbers of microbial strains, clonal libraries, mutant banks and cell lines. 4 Main components: Cryo-replicator, Cryo-replicator press, Sandwich cover, Cover clamps Cost effective alternative to robot systems Cultivation of thousands of strains Same quality of growth as in Erlenmeyer flasks in terms of oxygen transfer rates and reproducibility
