Tested with 3 labs across the US

CytCut 2.0

A full redesign of CellCut into a new device for scratch assays, made after labs around the world asked for it.

LOG · WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES

CytCut 2.0 is a scratch assay tool: a pin head with a cone-shaped pin for each well sits on a plate holder over a well plate and scratches every well the same way in one press.

WHY

Another lab approached me for this device. We opened a "First Client Initiative" on the CLYTE website to see if people were interested, and we got applicants from all over the world, so we made it.

WHAT I WORKED ON

The successor to CellCut, after popular demand: I fully redesigned it into a new device.

WHAT CAME OF IT

It was tested with 3 labs, and led to 3.0, which was tested with more labs (only a marginal improvement over 2.0, though).
