In the late 1990s, the The HIV Contamination at the Medical Center event attracted widespread attention somewhere in the United States. At the time, a doctor at the medical center used instruments such as cloning rings and needles contaminated with HIV. Doctors patients failed to properly disinfect their devices.

 


 

The incident reportedly infected at least six patients with HIV, and one patient died shortly after the infection. The incident eventually led to the expulsion of the doctors and the medical center paid the victims millions of dollars. The incident also reminded that laboratory workers must comply with the correct laboratory operation norms and hygiene standards to avoid similar contamination incidents.

 

What is Cloning Cylinders?

Cloning cylinders is a tool used in the laboratory to separate a single cell or cell aggregate from a cell culture and transferring it to another dish for the purpose of isolating and propagating a single clonal cell.

 

Laboratory cloning cylinders are at risk of contamination, especially in the case of improper operation or poor hygiene. Here are some conditions that can cause contamination:

1. Improper operation: When operating the cloning ring, attention must be paid to avoid contact with the cells or DNA of the non-target species to avoid contamination.

2.Poor sanitary conditions: in the experiment, we must pay attention to the sanitary conditions of the laboratory, to avoid the contamination of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms.

3.Instrument pollution: in the use of cloning ring instrument, must pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the instrument.

4.Reuse: disinfection effect is not good, repeated use of pollution.

 

 

Conventional cloning cylinders VS Bel-Art Cloning Cylinders

 

As the technology continues to innovate, more and more scientists and researchers are willing to use disposable sterile cloning cylinders. So compared with the traditional cloning cylinders, what are the advantages of the disposable sterile cloning cylinders?

 

Here, we take the Bel-Art Sterile Cloning Cylinders as an example to illustrate

 


Bel-Art Sterile Cloning Cylinders is a special clonal ring prepared by sterile technique that can be used for cell isolation and purification under sterile conditions. Bel-Art Sterile Cloning Cylinders has the following advantages:

 

1. Sterility: Bel-Art Sterile Cloning Cylinders can be used for cell isolation and purification under sterile conditions to avoid contamination and ensure the accuracy of the experimental results.

2. Reduce the incidence of pollution: the cylinder is conical, the bottom edge is wider than the top, to ensure a good sealing surface and reduce the occurrence of pollution

3. Easy to use: Bel-Art Sterile Cloning Cylinders is easy to use without additional disinfection steps and easy to operate.
