ADVANTAGES
The use of the disposable microfluidic chip as the core of On-chip Sort realizes great benefits over conventional cell sorters. Some of many advantages of On-chip Sort are listed below:
Comparison with conventional cell sorter
Conventional | On-chip Sort | |
---|---|---|
Cell damage | Possibility of damage | Damage-free |
Contamination | Microbial contamination may occur | Sterile and contamination-free |
Sheath fluid | Fixed | Choose from a variety of media |
PRODUCT
On-chip Biotechnologies currently offer two instruments: On-chip Sort (cell sorter) and On-chip SPiS (single cell dispenser)
Droplet selector and single droplet plater
“On-chip® Droplet Selector”
Cell/microorganism screening at 1,000 times higher throughput than conventional screening methods.
Microfluidic chip cell sorter
“On-chip® Sort”
Revolutionary cell sorter using disposable microfluidic chip for damage-free and sterile sorting.
Single cell/particle dispenser
“On-chip SPiS”
Accurate and gentle cell/particle dispenser for single cell/particle plating into 96- or 384-well plate.
Monodisperse droplet generator
“On-chip Droplet Generator”
Stable and uniform production of emulsion droplets. Using our unique microfluidic chip, stable and uniform droplets can be produced.
SORTING TECHNOLOGY
Jet-in-air or Cuvette hybrid cell sorters have multiple processes that triggers sorter-induced cellular stress (SICS). On-chip Sort allows for much gentler sorting of cells compared to conventional sorters because the use of microfluidic chip has eliminated such damaging steps.
Conventional Sorter | On-chip Sort | |
---|---|---|
Sorting Pressure | Approx. 40psi | Approx. 0.3psi |
High-speed Collision | Cells collide at high-speed when collected | No collision |
Electrostatic Charging | Cells are stressed due to charging | No electrostatic charging |
Aerosol Generation | Potentially hazardous for users | No aerosols |
Sorting Medium | Must use specified sorting medium | Most standard media accepted |
Washing | Post-sort wash with harsh chemicals | No post-sort washing |
