Be in control—selectively process only the cells of choice Be more confident in your data—reduce batch effects and the unnecessary analysis of empty or multi-cell wells Be flexible—develop applications of your choice and customize your experimental setup with different dispensing options To address cellular heterogeneity, researchers need an unbiased method to analyze large numbers of single cells, more control over selection of the isolated cells to accelerate downstream processing, and the flexibility to analyze multiple parameters per experiment. The original ICELL8 Single-Cell System and ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System help meet these requirements by rapidly isolating and characterizing hundreds of rare and unique cells, allowing you to look beyond the aggregate signal seen with traditional bulk processing. The statistical inferences possible with the ICELL8 systems greatly expand the opportunities for discovery within any biological system. features and benefits As the use of NGS advances in clinical and applied spaces, the parallel processing of large numbers of single cells will be crucial. With the increasing demand for single-cell NGS analyses, several platforms have emerged based on microfluidics, such as droplet-based and multi-sample nanodispensing technologies. The ICELL8 systems enable high-throughput processing of hundreds of single cells in a heterogeneous population without the common microfluidic cell-size constraints or the imaging limitations of droplet-based systems, thereby reducing sample-handling artifacts.
