Description
The CellCelector Flex platform is a fully automated cell imaging and picking system developed for the screening, selection and isolation of single cells, clusters, spheroids, and organoids, as well as single cell clones and adherent colonies.
Based on the high scanning and picking speed which results in a fast retrieval of cells, the CellCelector Flex is compatible with single cell RNA analysis applications and perfectly suited for the isolation of living cells. In combination with our Nanowell technology, the CellCelector Flex is the perfect system for high-throughput single cell cloning or single B-cell secretion assays in antibody discovery, as well as the isolation of rare cells (e.g. CTCs) for subsequent analysis.
The CellCelector Flex combines a high-content imaging system with a fully automated micro-manipulation robot, consisting of an automated inverted fluorescence microscope with high-resolution optics, a high-speed scanning stage, a high-precision microfluidic cell picking robot and powerful imaging processing and analysis software.
Features:
- High cell integrity and outgrowth rates after picking including up to 95% viability in single cell cloning
- Recovery speed: 20-30 seconds per single cell or 20 individual cells in less than 10 minutes
- Versatile: Adherent cells, cells in suspension or in semi-solid medium, single cells, clusters, spheroids or colonies, primary cells or cell lines, living or fixed cells
- Sample processing with physiological conditions: The additional option of the CellCelector Flow Box enables the unique combination of a laminar flow cell culture hood and CO2 incubator allowing users to keep cells in stable environmental conditions during experiments and provides optimal results and reproducibility.
