How to prevent microbial contamination of your flow cytometers?
Used at low working concentrations, ProClin 300 in the sheath fluid of our automated Cytobuoy flow cytometers effectively inhibits microbial contamination. It is a water-soluble formulation that is easily used directly from the container. Unlike other biocides, ProClin products are claimed by the manufacturer to present no health hazards, toxicology problems, or disposal issues at recommended usage levels.
The active ingredients of ProClin are :
RH-573 (MIT) 2-Methyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-One RH-651 (CMIT) 5-Chloro-2-Methyl-4-Isothiazoline-3-One
ProClin biocides are immediately microstatic upon contact with microbial organisms as a result of their ability to quickly penetrate cell membranes and inhibit specific enzymes crucial to cellular respiration.
