How it works
IDENTIFY
Your target cell is identified by our AI algorithm. Target cells can be static or in flow and do not require prior labeling or dyeing.
TRAP
Your target cell is trapped by our optical tweezers and can be manipulated in any fashion. Multiple cells can be trapped and manipulated simultaneously.
ISOLATE
Your target cell can be isolated using microfluidic wells. Experiments can then be done on-chip, or your target cells can be extracted for further downstream analyses.
A tool to help push the boundaries of single-cell research.
What sets us apart
Plug-n-play
Our system can be integrated with any conventional inverted microscope.
Full automation
Prep your sample, select your protocol, press “Start”, come back when your experiment is done.
Versatility
Our microfluidic chip designs can be tailored to fit your exact needs.
Self-calibration
No need for background knowledge in laser optics. Our optical tweezers self calibrate – no maintenance required.
Workflow integration
Our software can integrate easily into your existing workflow and sync with your data processing.
Real-time imaging
High-resolution imaging in bright field or fluorescence.
Never miss a thing.
