Our semi-automated system encapsulates single cells or biomolecules into picodroplets, ready for downstream screening and analysis. It does this at a rapid rate of up to 70,000 picodroplets per second, and the flow rate can be highly controlled. The instrument enables rapid and very sensitive detection of secreted or cell-associated proteins produced by an individual cell, contained in each picodroplet. The encapsulation system doesn’t affect cell viability, while the wide range of picodroplet sizes and volumes gives it flexibility for use with various cell types – large or small. These picodroplets can be stabilised using novel surfactants and cells can be grown in them, and even incubated or stored for many days.
Key Features
Example Applications Biopharmaceutical discovery: Antibody (transcript) discovery from primary plasma cells, B-cells or hybridomas. Bioprocessing: Rapidly identify and isolate high expressing clones. Diagnostics: Detect and assay circulating tumour and other disease-related cells. Drug-resistance studies: Identify and isolate rare drug-resistant cells from large microbial or cancer cell populations. Enzyme evolution: Screen millions of enzyme constructs to select the most efficient variant. Synthetic biology: Study vast numbers of valuable molecules produced by libraries of engineered microbes.
