Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) technology ensures high sorting accuracy and single-cell yield. It prevents contamination from non-target cells, thereby ensuring the purity of the collected samples.
-
Ultra-High-Viability Sorting with a Post-Sorting Culture Success Rate of Over 95%
Utilizes a sorting and culture microarray chip - HoneyArray - to achieve a single-cell sorting and culture success rate exceeding 95% for model organisms such as E. coli, Bacillus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
-
Highly Automated Workflow, Easy to Learn and Use
Our system integrates a variety of advanced functions, including autofocus, continuous multi-field image acquisition, automactic image tiling and stitching, intelligent visual-guided single-cell identification, one-click automatic single-cell localization and sorting, and fully automated cell retrieval. It significantly reduces experimental workload and greatly enhance research efficiency.
-
Effective Sorting Solutions for Complex Biological Samples
Our system enables the sorting of cells with diverse sizes and morphologies within a single experiment. It requires ultra-low sample amount, for just 0.5 µL. This solution is not affected by impurity interference, making it suitable for samples from various complex environments, including soil, water, sediment, gut, feces, and sputum.
-
Multiple Models with Excellent Expansion Capability
The PRECI SCS instrument series includes various models, such as the PRECI SCS Visual-guided Single-Cell Sorter, PRECI SCS-F Fluorescence-guided Single-Cell Sorter, and PRECI SCS-R300 Raman-guided Single-Cell Sorter. It can be installed in biosafety cabinets and anaerobic chambers to meet the needs of different applications.
Working Principle
Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a technique that uses a pulsed laser beam as the driving force to project cells from a chip with donor thin film toward the receiving collector. The contact-free sorting process enables precise and visual-guided single-cell isolation.
