Cell scrapers and lifters are ideal for a variety of cell culture vessels. They are used for easy and gentle harvesting of intact cell monolayers or cell lysates from tissue culture flasks, culture dishes, multiwell plates or tubes and bottles by scraping the growth surface. They are available with a fixed blade or pivoting blade to allow the user to adjust the position of the scraper blade and provide access to all corners of the cell culture flask or tissue culture vessel.
