Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the CELLTREAT Cell Scraper (Cat # 229315) — a premium, sterile, individually wrapped cell scraper designed for the gentle, efficient harvesting of adherent cells from tissue culture flasks, dishes, plates, and bottles without damaging cells or scratching culture vessel surfaces. The 229315 features a long 39cm handle and a wide 30mm scraper blade — the "Scraper" format in CELLTREAT's cell scraper line — providing maximum reach into large-format tissue culture flasks such as T-75, T-150, T-182, T-225, and T-300 formats while delivering a wide, sweeping blade surface for efficient cell harvest with fewer strokes.
The scraper blade is constructed from soft, pliable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) — a material specifically chosen for its flexibility and biocompatibility. Unlike rigid blade scrapers that can score or scratch polystyrene flask surfaces, the flexible TPE blade conforms to the contours of the flask bottom, ensuring complete cell coverage without surface damage — maximizing cell recovery while preserving cell viability for downstream applications. The rigid ABS handle provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip and the necessary rigidity to transfer force from the operator's hand to the blade tip efficiently. Every scraper is certified nonpyrogenic and individually packaged in a sterile wrapper — providing single-use sterility assurance for contamination-sensitive cell culture workflows. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for CELLTREAT laboratory plasticware.
KEY FEATURES
- 39cm (long) handle — provides reach into all standard and large-format tissue culture flasks including T-75, T-150, T-182, T-225, and T-300 formats
- 30mm wide scraper blade — broad blade surface harvests more cells per stroke vs. narrower blade formats; reduces the number of strokes needed for complete flask coverage
- Soft, pliable TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) blade — flexible blade conforms to flask surface contours without scratching or scoring polystyrene; maximizes cell recovery while preserving cell viability
- Rigid ABS handle — ergonomic grip with sufficient rigidity for efficient force transfer to blade tip
- Certified nonpyrogenic — suitable for sensitive cell culture and biological production workflows
- Sterile — gamma irradiated; individually wrapped for single-use contamination control
- Compatible with tissue culture flasks, dishes, multi-well plates, roller bottles, and other standard cell culture vessels
- Fisher Scientific Catalog No. 50-201-976
