Biocompare (www.biocompare.com) is a website provides life scientists the latest product information, reviews and technology. It combines with the Internet to create a free, time-saving and trustworthy platform that allows scientists to search for product technologies that best match their experimental needs.
"Essential Guide to Best Practices in the Lab V" is an e-book by Biocompare. It masters and promotes the most advanced information. The book contains rich professional knowledge and practical guidance from senior scientists. One of the article mentioned that the On-chip Sort microfluidic technology can be used to improve the quality of cell sorting. Its microfluidic low-pressure parallel precision sorting technology can accurately and non-destructively sort oil droplets/microbes/cell/3D spheroid from 0.5 µm to 150 µm. Even when there is only a very small amount of sample (10µl), the desired target can be sorted without wasting any precious cells. At the same time, not limited to the type of sheath fluid, the researcher can choose the most suitable sheath fluid according to the cell properties. On-chip's microfluidic technology not only greatly improves the survival rate of cells, but also solves the problems that cannot be done by traditional sorters. It is suitable for various prospective studies! Reference cases are as follows:
Nerve cells after traditional sorting are difficult to grow
The traditional use of electrostatic sorting of sperm is not suitable for in vitro fertilization
3D spheroid cells and iPS cells cannot be sorted under traditional high pressure
On-chip Sort has successfully sorted out 3D cell spheroids and cultivated to 100µm➜Easy!
