The HANABI-PII Metaphase Harvester is the first system to fully automate the multi-step process of preparing and harvesting metaphase cells derived from blood or bone marrow cell cultures or from other cell suspension cultures for cytogenetic analyses. Centrifugation, aspiration of supernatants, addition of hypotonic or fixative solutions and resuspension of the cells in these media are all carried out in a preprogrammed manner by this system. Batches of up to 24 separate cultures can be reliably processed in a significantly shorter time when compared to traditional methods.
