AMSbio - CometChip®
Manufactured by AMSbio
For High-Throughput Assessment of DNA Damage
The 96-Well CometChip® System is a high-throughput platform to simultaneously treat and measure DNA damage induced by different treatments, or among different cell types on a single slide using the comet assay. The CometChip® is a consumable consisting of specifically sized micron pores patterned into agarose. 96 separate wells are created by inserting the CometChip® into a reusable magnetically-sealed cassette suitable for tissue culture incubators. Cells added to each well are captured by gravity into micropores and excess cells are aspirated, leaving an array of non-overlapping cells. Multiple experimental conditions can be performed in parallel by the addition of different chemicals to respective wells. Once treatment is complete the CometChip® is removed from the cassette and processed using standard alkaline comet conditions and imaging systems.

Features of CometChip®
The 96-Well CometChip® System contains a carrier base, a macrowell former, a lid and a Key. The CometChip® is inserted into the black carrier base. When the macrowell former is placed over the CometChip® it magnetically snaps to the carrier base and forms 96 sealed macrowells on top of the CometChip®. The circumference of each macrowell encompasses ~240 micropores on the CometChip®. The 96-Well CometChip® System is designed to work with the CometAssay® Electrophoresis System II.
