Revolutionary Cell Culture Device Debuts in North America

May 14, 2010 – Celartia Ltd. announces the introduction of its new PetakaG3™ Cell Culture Device, citing it as a major breakthrough for its ability to reduce cell culture contamination, improve portability, save space, and confocal microscopy for Live Cell Imaging.

Unlike conventional culture devices, PetakaG3 is Virtually Hermetically Enclosed™—requiring no additional CO2, no additional humidity and effectively eliminating contamination, spills and leaks. As a result, live cells can be examined under the microscope without the use of a “Environmental Chamber.”

Optical Properties:

Refraction Index: 1.57
Light Absorption: >From 310 nm to 670 nm absorbance < 1% Autofluorscence wl: < 485 nm Admitted optical resolution: 0.25 mm Dimensions: 129 mm x 84 mm x 5.2 mm "PetakaG3 is the most advanced cell culture incubation device available today," says Dr. Emilio Barberá, CSO of Celartia. "It offers a long list of advantages other devices simply cannot—for cultivating cells, transporting them, collecting samples, and many other applications. One would need up to five or six separate products to do what PetakaG3 can do on its own. That's why we're very excited about the ability of this new technology to deliver groundbreaking quality, productivity and economic benefits to our customers." Many years in the making, PetakaG3's innovative design is based on a re-sealable access port that keeps the interior of the device hermetic to exterior elements. Combined with a gas transfer quenching system and filtered exit vent, this permits safe and easy one-step access or retrieval. There are no caps or openings, no atmospheric contamination and no saturated humidity or added CO2 needed in the incubator. The number of routines and requirements are thus minimized, reducing cell culture costs. PetakaG3 Cell Culture Devices are now available in the USA and Canada.
