F.SIGHT™ OMICS - Single Cell Dispenser for NGS Library Preparation Workflows
The new microfluidic cell sorter that dispenses single cells into PCR plates.
Cancer research
This device is very easy to use, and can dispense cells gently, cheaply and reliably, preventing early cell rupture. It also enables filtering out debris, doublets and aggregates with its advanced optical settings. It is a very efficient way to sort GFP-expressing or labelled cells, as it is very fast, and less complicated to handle when compared to sorting cells using FACs.

The F.SIGHT™ OMICS is a novel, easy-to-use benchtop cell sorter that reliably dispenses single cells into PCR plates and facilitates downstream reaction miniaturization. Sorting is carried out by brightfield image analysis and fluorescence with a 488 nm laser. The F.SIGHT OMICS uses CYTENA's patented dispensing technology, which is compatible with sensitive cell types and minimizes cell stress. The Automatic Offset Correction allows reproducible, targeted delivery of individual cells to the center of each well.
The F.SIGHT OMICS needs only minimal startup time and does not require manual adjustments of sorting parameters. It can fill a 96-well plate in under 2 minutes and a 384-well plate in under 8 minutes. Additionally, the instrument’s simple, intuitive software interface helps capture a series of nozzle images for each cell that are available for additional analysis and verification of clonality.
