CytCut 3.0: Wound Healing Assay Tool

Two-Component System: Features a:

• (1) Sample Translation Platform (base holder) to securely align a standard multi-well plate, and a
• (2) Scratch-Tips Component (STC) or multi-pin head that moves within the platform.

Simultaneous Scratching: The multi-pin head is designed to create wounds across all wells of a plate in a single, simultaneous mechanical action.

Precision Tip Geometry: Tips are oriented substantially perpendicular (approx. 90°) to the cell culture surface, ensuring consistent scratch width, depth, and edge quality.

Durable & Reusable: Manufactured from high-strength, autoclavable polymers. Beta-tested devices have shown durability for over 9 months of continuous use.

Full Sterilization Compatibility: Compatible with all standard lab sterilization methods, including 70% ethanol, UV light, and autoclave.

Multi-Well Format: The pre-order product is compatible with standard 48-well plates. (Future versions for 12, 24, and 96-well plates are planned ).

Automation-Level Reproducibility: Drastically reduces scratch width variability from ~50% (common with pipette methods) to <5% .

Drastic Time Savings: Reduces the time to wound an entire 48-well plate from 5-10 minutes down to 10-20 seconds.

Seamless Workflow Integration:

• Functions as a simple, analog tool that requires no proprietary consumables, no software, and no changes to existing lab protocols.
• Ergonomic, lightweight, and easy to use with minimal training.

Immediate Market Access: As a "Research Use Only" (RUO) tool, CytCut™ is exempt from lengthy FDA regulatory approval, enabling immediate adoption in research labs.
