B.SIGHT™ - Microbial Single Cell Isolation
Label-free and fluorescence isolation of microbiota, cultured bacteria, and yeast
Single bacterial cell sorting
The instrument is handy and super user-friendly. The machine is ready to sort after a quick quality control step and adaption of sort settings. It sorts single cells reliably. Due to the usage of cartridges cross-contamination is not an issue anymore and cells are sorted alive and happy since they are kept in their needed buffer during the entire sort process. An in-built laser enables us to differentiate between fluorescently labelled and unlabelled cells, which makes the whole cell sorting process even more precise.
