Cell selection and retrieval instrument with dual monitors

Single Cell, Clone & Colony Analysis, 선별 & Isolation

Empower your research with the leading cell and colony 선별 and isolation system

The CellCelector platform is a fully automated cell imaging and 채취 system developed for the 선별, selection and isolation of single cells, clusters, spheroids and organoids, as well as single cell clones and adherent colonies.

Based on the high scanning and 채취 speed which results in a fast retrieval of cells, the CellCelector is compatible with single cell RNA analysis applications and perfectly suited for the isolation of living cells. In combination with our Nanowell technology, the CellCelector is the perfect system for high-throughput 단일 세포 클로닝 or single B-cell secretion assays in antibody discovery, as well as the isolation of rare cells (e.g. CTCs) for subsequent analysis.

Features

Image-based Analysis & Isolation

The CellCelector inverted fluorescence microscope with high resolution optics allows the identification of target cells based on morphological attributes and fluorescence signals. The highly efficient imaging system offers a wide range of image processing options so that even similar cells can be differentiated.

Unique Flexibility & Versatility

Due to three different 채취 modules and compatibility with a huge range of 표준 and custom cell culture labware the CellCelector can be used in a multitude of research areas (e.g. 순환종양세포/CTC 선별, stem cell research as well as 세포주 development and antibody discovery).

Gentle 채취 Technology

The patented 채취 technology of the CellCelector is characterized by an extremely gentle cell transfer resulting in high cell integrity and outgrowth rates after 채취 (including up to 95% and more viability in 단일 세포 클로닝 applications). 

Incubator FlowBox: sample processing under physiological conditions

The unique combination of a laminar 흐름 셀 culture hood and CO2 incubator allows keeping cells in stable environmental conditions during the experiments and provides optimal results and reproducibility. 

Applications

Single Cell Isolation

Equipped with the Single Cell 채취 Module, the CellCelector provides gentle aspiration with extremely high precision down to the nanoliter range. Typical 어플리케이션 areas are:

  • Isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for oncology applications
  • Isolation of single fetal cells for cell based non-invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT)
  • Forensic applications, e.g. 채취 of sperms for genetic analysis
  • Preparation of high-quality spike-ins for reference samples
  • Heterogeneity analysis (Purification of samples for genetic single cell analysis: single cell PCR, RNA-seq, NGS)

세포주 Development

Fast generation of clonal pharmaceutical production cell lines with the CellCelector 단일 세포 클로닝 Technology:

  • Analysis of thousands of clones in parallel
  • 하위 클로닝-free 단일 세포 클로닝 workflow with integrated 단클론성 proof
  • Selective isolation of only vital clones
  • Targeted selection of high producing clones
  • Industry leading outgrowth rates of single cells even for extremely difficult to grow cell lines
  • Considerable saving of time, consumables, media and storage capacities

Antibody Discovery

Single cell analysis with the CellCelector allows the detection of rare antibodies with unique properties which are hard to find under conventional 선별 methods. The system combines selective cell 선별, imaging, sensitive single cell secretion assays as well as cell isolation. Hundred-Thousands of cells can be processed in parallel. Individual cells will be screened immediately in specific and multiplexed immunoassays instead of culturing for weeks to reach a minimum number of cells for the assay.

Stem Cells

The CellCelector, with its specifically designed 채취 modules for adherent cells and cell colonies as well as for isolation from 반고체 배지 is extremely gentle, very specific and therefore ideally suited for the clonal passaging of stem cells, stem cell colonies as well as the isolation of specific parts of a stem cell colony. It will support your stem cell research, for example by:

  • Clonal 채취 of newly derived iPS colonies
  • Colony 채취 for genome editing, e.g. using CRISPR/Cas9
  • Colony splitting with transfer to two or three destination plates (creation of replica plates)
  • Isolation of differentiated stem cell colonies
  • Scanning and isolation of 조혈줄기세포 colonies from methylcellulose enabling further downstream analysis following e.g. CFC assays
  • Isolation of single stem cells for 단일 세포 클로닝 or heterogeneity studies
  • Isolation of HSC daughter cells or “더블릿 분할”
  • Cleaning up of stem cell cultures by removal of differentiated areas

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the CellCelector can isolate both living and fixed cells.

In order to recover cells from a dried surface it should be first pre-wet in PBS (e.g. 24 hours in advance) as cells are recovered using controlled liquid aspiration.

There is no intrinsic dead volume and corresponding cell loss during cell recovery.

The CellCelector can be placed in a biosafety cabinet (yours or a customized one, provided by 싸토리우스) or in our Incubator FlowBox. The latter does not only provide a sterile environment but also temperature, CO2 and humidity regulation and thus supports the cultivation of sensitive cells.

No. The CellCelector is equipped with a powerful robot arm that can potentially harm users. To protect them, the CellCelector must be installed within 하우징 with a safety lock. At the moment the 하우징 is open, the safety lock cuts immediately the motor's power. All housings offered for the CellCelector are equipped with such a safety lock. For applications which don’t need sterility we offer the CellCelector PCR Hood.
