Namocell’s patented technology combines the benefits of three key technologies, microfluidics, flow cytometry and liquid dispensing to accomplish single cell sorting and dispensing in one step, providing a fast, easy and gentle solution for single cell isolation.
Disposable microfluidics cartridge design eliminates the risk of clogging and sample-to-sample cross contamination. It enables easy sterile sorting with near zero dead volume and no need for cleaning.
Gentle sorting pressure (<2 psi) helps preserve cell viability and integrity. Easy operation, zero maintenance, and requires no prior flow cytometry experience.
Integrated liquid dispensing in the microfluidic channels enables fast single cell disposition. Cells are dispensed into a 96-well or 384-well plate or a 2mL tube on your own bench in minutes.
Dispenses a single cell into each well.
Sorts tens of thousands of cells in bulk.
Isolates rare cells from extremely large cell populations.
