Full CellSorter Instrument with Valve Control

Full CellSorter Instrument Including Fluorescent Microscope
  • 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
