Users connect the Piezo Head Device to their inverted microscope.
Viable cells
After sorting, one viable cell is delivered to each PCR tube.
User-friendly
Fully automated with a user-friendly interface.
High-speed imaging
Typical scanning speeds range from 100 to 1,000 cells per second, with cell picking speeds ranging from 3 to 4 single cells per minute. The sorting speed while collecting many cells is one cell per second.
High-quality imaging
Computer vision recognizes both unlabeled and fluorescent cells. Sort cells that have been tagged with fluorescent probes or markers.
Highly modular
There are several alternatives for a more personalized experience and a better fit.
Unprecedented precision
Superior liquid handling precision: 0.1 nanoliter, with a single cell isolation efficiency of >90%.
Software included
Cellsorter offers user-friendly software with an easy UI and free software upgrades for all instruments.
