Advantages
-
Compatible with both cell suspensions and tissue sections: One System, Multiple Uses
Widely applicable to diverse sample types, including cell suspensions, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, and cryosections, fully satisfying multidimensional single-cell research needs.
-
High Single-Cell Recovery Rate & Preserved Cell Viability
Based on the principle of laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT), the single-cell recovery rate remains stable above 95%, and the cell survival/culture success rate exceeds 90%, providing high-quality samples for downstream investigation.
-
New Strategies for Rare and Low-Abundance Cell Sorting
Ideal for low cell-density samples (as low as 10³ cells/mL) and rare cell populations (representing less than 0.1% of total samples), breaking through the limitations of conventional single-cell research.
-
Visualized Precision Sorting with Full-Process Data Traceability
Equipped with a research-grade microscopic imaging system and a 4-channel fluorescence module, the entire sorting process is visually recorded. The image, coordinates, and fluorescence intensity of every single cell can be fully traced.
-
Highly Automated and User-Friendly Operation
Features an integrated workflow covering wide-field scanning and image stitching, automatic focusing, AI-powered single-cell image recognition, one-click automated detection and isolation, and automated cell collection, significantly reducing experimental burdens and enhancing research efficiency.
-
Seamless Integration with Downstream Multi-Omics Studies
Isolated cells can be directly utilized for single-clone culture, single-cell genomic amplification and sequencing, and single-cell proteomic analysis, effectively bridging phenotype-based selection with genotype-driven analysis.
Working Principle
Utilizing Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) technology combined with a beam shaping system to form a 'donut-shaped' laser beam, enabling precise non-contact separation of single cells and subcellular structures.
