SpecFlex™
Raman Optical Tweezers Chip
Designed for use with the SC-catcher-R Single-Cell Raman Optical Tweezers Manipulation and Sorting System, this chip enables optical trapping of cells in liquid, Raman spectroscopy detection, and precise target cell separation. It is ideal for downstream applications such as single-cell sorting, cultivation, and sequencing.
Advantages
-
In Situ Single-Cell Raman Spectroscopy
Unique design of microchannel structures effectively minimize background signal interference, enabling high signal-to-noise ratio Raman spectral acquisition of single cells in liquid. This ensures precise target cell identification based on spectral information.
-
Non-Destructive Single-Cell Manipulation and Sorting
By utilizing a pump-driven continuous liquid flow system within microchannels and integrating optical tweezers, this technology enables precise, non-destructive sorting and collection of target cells. The sorted cells can then be used for downstream applications such as cell culture and sequencing.
