Single Cell Isolation
CellSorter develops smart technologies for single cell handling, sorting, and isolation.
Robotic Isolation Technology to discover single cell genetics
Full CellSorter Instrument with Valve Control
- High throughput single cell sorting directly from the Petri dish
- One single cell arrives to each PCR tube
- 10 PCR strips containing 80 tubes can be filled in a cycle
- Glass cover slip for testing single cell deposition in situ
- Drop volume less than 1 ul for adherent cells
- Pick up volume of ~1 nl for suspended cells
- 15-20 seconds per cell. When collecting multiple cells, sorting speed is 1 cell/second.
- Number of cells picked up in a single run: 1-1000.
- Isolates a subpopulation of live adherent cells expressing fluorescent or luminescent markers
- Both unlabeled and fluorescentcells are recognized by computer vision
- Viable cells after sorting
- Any adherent and non-adherent cell type can be sorted
- Cell culture needs minimal preparation before sorting
- Average sorting process takes only a few minutes
- Multichannel detection using the fluorescent filter setup of the microscope
