NanoCellect – N1 Single-Cell Dispenser
The N1 Single-Cell Dispenser is an accessory to the WOLF® G2 Cell Sorter
The system uses aerosol-free, sterile, and disposable microfluidic cartridges. It allows for bulk cell selection and sorting directly into 96-well or 384-well plates. The N1 Single-Cell Dispenser seamlessly integrates into the intuitive software, enabling easy selection of single cells from a dropdown menu, plate mapping, and sorting initiation. The WOLF G2 and N1 dispenser collaborate to efficiently sort and plate cells in a compact and cost-effective setup. Post-sorting, cell data are indexed well-by-well for accurate cell confirmation.
This setup supports bulk sorting for collecting entire populations or individual cell sorting into standard 96- or 384-well plates using the N1 Single-Cell Dispenser module. It’s ideal for cloning sorted cells or conducting plate-based assays. The gentle sorting mechanism enhances cell viability and outgrowth while minimizing cell stress, thereby avoiding potential gene expression or karyotype changes associated with traditional sorters.
