Worm Recovery Kit

The Worm Recovery Kit is an add-on to the ScreenChip Phenotyping System that allows you to retrieve your worms after collecting phenotyping data.

Use the Worm Recovery Kit to:

Screen and retrieve your worms for a complete population analysis
Perform longitudinal studies
Conduct genetic analysis of your worms post-phenotyping

The ScreenChip System was designed to allow the worms to move their head and tail freely while being gently immobilized into the microfluidic chip. Worms are moved in a gentle and controlled manner through the chip and into the Worm Recovery Kit using negative pressure.
