The HANABI Metaphase Chromosome Harvesters are the first systems to fully automate the multi-step process of preparing and harvesting metaphase cells derived from blood and bone marrow cell cultures and from other cell suspension cultures for cytogenetic analyses. Centrifugation, aspiration, addition of hypotonic and fixative solutions, and cell resuspension are all automated. Walk away reliability and low maintenance significantly reduce FTE time associated with the manual harvesting process.
