Extension Device - NanoPick
Attach the Piezo Head Device to an inverted microscope of your own. Contact us for more information and compatibility!
Viable Cells
One single cell arrives to each PCR tube still viable after the sorting process
User-friendly
Fully automated with an intuitive interface
High speed imaging
Typical scanning speed is 100 - 1,000 cells/second, cell picking speed is 3-4 single cells/min. When collecting multiple cells, the sorting speed is 1 cell/second
High quality imaging
Both unlabeled and fluorescent cells are recognized by computer vision. Sort cells labeled by fluorescent probes or markers
Highly Modular
Numerous options for a personalized experience and a better fit
Unprecedented Precision
Excellent liquid handling precision: 0.1 nanoliter, with an Outstanding >90% single cell isolation efficiency
