The FilterMate Universal Harvester Simple simultaneous harvesting of samples from 96- and 24-well microplates Harvesting cells is fast and easy with PerkinElmer’s FilterMate™ Universal Harvester. Our compact system harvests and washes all 96 or 24 samples simultaneously from shallow- or deepwell microplates. The FilterMate Harvester is available in several versatile configurations. There are FilterMate models suited for either our MicroBeta® or TopCount® Scintillation and Luminescence Counters, as well as a model designed for cutting filtermats for our Tri-Carb® Liquid Scintillation Counters or WIZARD® Automatic Gamma Counters. With any FilterMate model, it takes only minutes to process and transfer samples — onto integrated filter plates such as UniFilter® plates for counting on TopCount; onto dedicated filtermats for counting on MicroBeta; or onto plain filtermats with the OmniFilter™ harvester configuration. With the OmniFilter FilterMate, you can leave filtermats intact and count them on a TopCount, or cut them into individual filter disks and transfer them easily into individual gamma or liquid scintillation counting vials for counting on a WIZARD or Tri-Carb. The UniFilter and MicroBeta FilterMate Harvesters are available in stainless steel to provide increased resistance to TCA (trichloroacetic acid). UniFilter FilterMate Harvester • Separate hot and cold waste lines — helps minimize radioactive waste. • Versatile base-unit — enables switching from 96to 24-well format and back in just a few minutes. • Built-in scrubbers — make it easy to detach adherent cells from well bottoms and ensure complete harvesting. Key Applications • Cell proliferation assays (tritiated thymidine uptake) • Cytotoxicity assays • Receptor binding assays • Nucleic acid degradation Key Features • Trichloroacetic acid preparations • Flexible — use 96- or 24-well formats, deepor shallow-well plates. • Cell wash station for adherent cell assays • Short fluid path — minimizes the amount of wash fluid required and ensures more complete washing. w w w. p e r k i n e l m e r. c o m

Choose the FilterMate Model Suited for Your PerkinElmer Counter Order a FilterMate Harvester set-up for the filter plates or filtermats best suited for your PerkinElmer microplate, LSC or gamma counter. Any FilterMate is easily adapted to handle the alternative microplate size — 96- or 24-wells. UniFilter Harvester—Ideal for TopCount Users This FilterMate Harvester is configured for harvesting UniFilter plates for analysis on the TopCount Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counters. UniFilters are 96- or 24-well microplates with built-in GF/B® or GF/C® filters for optimized harvesting...

FilterMate For MicroBeta Filter Head Design Prevents Sample Crossover Harvesting 96 or 24 samples in a small area creates the potential for samples to migrate on the filter during harvesting. During counting, this can cause erroneous results because of the unpredictable migration of activity between sample areas. Regardless of the configuration or the method of analysis, the FilterMate is designed to give accurate results for the most demanding assays. • When harvesting onto filter sheets or MicroBeta filtermats, the force of the FilterMate O-rings against the stainless steel support plate prevents...
