Fisherbrand Cell Lifter Sterile Pack of 100 Lifters

Fisherbrand Polyethylene Sterile Cell Lifters (08-100-240) – Case of 100

The Fisherbrand 08-100-240 (cross-referenced as 08100240) is a medical-grade, sterile cell culture utensil engineered for the swift, gentle harvesting of intact cell layers from growth surfaces. Constructed from a single piece of high-density polyethylene copolymer, this disposable lifter features a 2 cm molded angled blade with a chiseled edge to maximize surface contact. Individually wrapped in sterile, peel-open packaging, it provides life science researchers with enhanced manual control while minimizing mechanical lysis or membrane damage during tissue culture processing.

Technical Performance & Design

• Angled Chiseled Blade Edge: Designed with a 0.7-inch (2 cm) rigid, double-beveled chiseled edge that maintains uniform, flat contact with the growth area of standard culture vessels.
• One-Piece Molded Ergonomics: The continuous 7-inch (17.78 cm) handle and blade assembly are molded as a single unit, eliminating structural joints or internal cavities where biological materials can pool.
• Validated Gamma Sterilization: Individually packaged in peel-to-open medical pouches and pre-sterilized via gamma irradiation, certifying the lifters are free from pyrogens, RNase, and DNase contaminants.
• Polyethylene Copolymer Compounding: Formulated from inert, high-purity polyethylene to ensure zero trace leachables, protecting delicate stem cells, primary cultures, and established cell lines from chemical toxicity.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Intact Cell Layer Scraping: Ideal for harvesting primary cells, macrophages, and sensitive lines where traditional enzymatic trypsinization could cleave vital surface receptors or proteins.
• Stem Cell & Organoid Isolation: Provides the precise mechanical leverage required to lift intact colonies or mechanically partition delicate spheroids without causing localized intracellular shear strain.
• Zero Cross-Contamination Integrity: The single-use disposable format eliminates the resource-heavy validation steps needed to autoclave re-usable metal scrapers, guaranteeing a sterile baseline for every passage.
• Flexible Precision Blade: The thin-profile copolymer blend bends slightly under hand pressure, allowing operators to seamlessly clear perimeter rings and tight radiuses near the vertical walls of culture wells.
