isoPick — gently isolate and pick your single cells

The isoPick automatically dispenses cells gently into GRID chambers and can flexibly transfer selected single cells into a range of different formats compatible with your downstream applications — including 96-well plates, PCR tubes, and vials for mass spectrometry. Importantly, optional temperature control and ultra-gentle handling of sensitive cells ensures high cell viability during cell isolation and transfer.After single cells are plated into GRID chambers they are imaged using the isoHub. Entire GRID chambers can be easily reviewed in the absence of optical edge effects typically associated with conventional culture plasticware. That way, you get absolute confidence in identifying chambers that contain a single cell. The isoHub also automates navigation through GRIDs and allows tracking of your selected clones, either using brightfield or fluorescent mode. What’s more, automated wireless data-transfer between the isoCell and isoHub guarantees a seamless and efficient workflow.As with the Cloning Platform, the scPicking Platform utilizes low-volume cell chambers for isolating single cells. These chambers are ideally suited to easily verify singularity and once respective chambers have been selected, single cells can automatically and flexibly be transferred into various downstream formats, such as well-plates, PCR plates, PCR strips and more without the need for tedious manual pipetting. With the isoCell, cells are handled using low pressure and low shear forces. Together with optional heating it delivers exceptional cell viability. And, all of this functionality sits within the most compact system on the market — the isoCell fits neatly into any cell culture hood without obstructing ongoing cell culture work. Now you can unlock consistent results in every experiment.
