Fast, Gentle and Easy Fluorescence and Light Scatter Based Single Cell Isolation
Description
The Hana Single Cell Dispenser makes single cell isolation and sorting effortless. This benchtop instrument uses proprietary microfluidics technology that combines flow cytometry and liquid dispensing to sort and dispense single cells directly into 96-well or 384-well plate.
It simplifies and empowers a number of single cell applications, including cell line development and engineering, single cell genomics, iPSC and CRISPR cloning, antibody discovery, single cell mass spec, synthetic biology, and rare cell isolation such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating fetal cells.
It is easy-to-use, zero maintenance, affordable and requires no special training to operate.
- Fast – Dispense single cells into a 96-well plate in 1 min or a 384-well plate in 6 min, 2 min system initialization
- Gentle – Low soring pressure (<2 psi) preserves cell viability and integrity and delivers high outgrowth
- Easy – Fully automated, no calibration needed, no clogging, zero maintenance
- Compact – Lightweight and portable, easily fits inside a cell culture hood
- Flexible – Sort primary cells, cell lines, nuclei, protoplasts, bacteria, yeast, algae and more
Namocell’s microfluidic cell cartridges ensure that there is no sample-to-sample cross contamination and keep the sample sterile. Cartridges that contain the sample material can be swapped out so there is no need for cleaning process.
