Researchers within the Cho Lab at Seoul National University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, are utilizing the VACUSAFE protected aspiration system and VACUSIP moveable aspiration system from INTEGRA Biosciences to assist them tradition organoids from cancer-stricken domesticated dogs as a part of a comparative medication analysis initiative.
Collaborating intently with the college’s veterinary practitioners, researchers intention to increase the variety of canine NGS datasets, in a bid to advance our understanding of the organic development of tumors in each human and canine oncology.
We carry out day by day microvolume aspirations of organoid cultures, working with many numerous samples from the college’s veterinary hospital. The compact VACUSAFE and VACUSIP methods present us with a finely managed aspiration method that allows correct work in our NGS workflows. The VACUBOY vacuum hand operator on the VACUSAFE includes a finger-activated valve that exactly regulates vacuum move, enabling delicate fingertip management and markedly bettering accuracy when aspirating microvolumes. INTEGRA’s VACUSAFE additionally has a number of vacuum depth settings that permit us to regulate the quantity of suction power, which is right for the fragile dealing with of treasured samples similar to organoids. The VACUSIP is ideal for day by day microvolume aspiration duties, because it permits us to aspirate any remaining liquid from the samples – which is just unachievable by guide pipetting – and saves us quite a lot of time for our microplate- and PCR plate-based samples.”

Borris continued: “We are very satisfied with the VACUSAFE and VACUSIP and we’re looking forward to continuing our relationship with INTEGRA in the future. The company’s products have helped us to achieve great feats so far – including our successful publication of the first reference epigenome of the domesticated dog – and we plan to keep moving the field of comparative oncology forwards using such robust, reliable equipment.”
