Flow Cytometer for the separation of multicellular organisms
Made in the UK by the Total Electronic Control Co Ltd, Hill Road, Fetcham KT22 9SZ.
Made to separate male and female Anopheles Mosquito L1 larvae for malaria research and reduction.
The RFP collected males are then released into the wild where they breed and produce future generations of sterile mosquito.
It is fully self contained with a 1 litre sample container and air pump to separate and collect larvae up to 2 a second.
Very simple to set up and use. It will collect any given volume from 10 to 990 larvae and display the total larvae count and the collected male larvae count.
It is a modular design. Each of the 6 parts can be easily separated for shipping by just unplugging the colour coded connectors. It can then be reassembled without the need of a ‘commissioning’ engineer.
Perfect for lab-based research and also large-scale field work.
I am an indigenous female and killed more than half a million people last year.
I am a transgenic male engineered with a genome to prevent future generations.
The Anopheles Mosquito is regarded as the most dangerous animal in the world and killed around 1000 children under 5 every day in 2022.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) produce an annual World Malaria report and the 2023 edition states that in 2022 there were 249 million cases of Malaria. 5 million more than 2021.
Two machines built for Imperial College are at The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine where work is proceeding with CRISPR-Cas9 transgenic variation. The male larvae are harvested then released where they compete with the male population to result in fewer female offspring or life limited next generation mosquitoes.
The machine is ‘plug and play’ with a very simple instruction set. It does not need engineer installation and all parts are simple to fault find and replace if ever required.
The cost is less than a tenth of the alternative. It can separate and collect the chosen larvae at 2 a second.
