Flexibility to isolate cells of any size is critical to single-cell analysis
Cell sizes are just as varied as the functions they perform. The MultiSample NanoDispenser (MSND) of the ICELL8 systems takes advantage of a large-bore nozzle for dispensing and Poisson distribution, allowing users to isolate cells of any size, including nuclei. The table below displays a few of the cell types that have been isolated using the system. For samples highlighted in blue, the ICELL8 Single-Cell System is the first to allow successful isolation of single cells, nuclei, or spheroids.
Visual depiction of sample sizes that can be isolated using the ICELL8 system. Samples can range from 5 µm up to 100 µm, including nuclei, B lymphocytes, neurons, and cardiomyocytes.
