CELLFACTOR: AUTOMATED CELL HANDLING SYSTEM

automatic cell-handling system, the CellFactor, resolves these two problems: saving time and money and allowing researchers to concentrate on the characterization phase of their experiments. The CellFactor combines a closed-loop sorter module with a wellplate feeder module together with all electronics and fluid handling components into a table-top sized instrument. Fully automated sorting & dispensing into wellplates (96, 48, 24, 12 format) • 96 format wellplate filled in circa 5 minutes • Parallel sorting into collection vessel • Vision-based, self-learning classification & sorting of entities • Closed-loop sorting, i.e. no sample loss • Highly reproducible, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week • Can handle entities 500 - 2000 µm in size, e.g. fertilized Zebrafish or Medaka eggs, Xenopus laevis oocytes, microtissue
