Solentim VIPS®
Verified In-Situ Plate Seeding (VIPS), is a high-efficiency single cell seeder for use in high-value cell workflows. VIPS combines single-cell cloning with an image-based ‘double lock’ of clonality assurance with imaging in both the droplet immediately after deposition and whole-well imaging post media fill, for a confident regulatory submission.
Single cell cloning
After reviewing a number of single-cell seeding devices the VIPS came out top for ease of use, consistent results, and pricing. Communication from the company in regards to ensuring the spec met our needs, and the aftercare support was impressive. Whenever we had any questions technical support provided details advice via video call. We feel fully supported by the company when it comes to any questions, technical help.

Single cell seed
The VIPS is an easy to use instrument. It is basic and any lab user can be easily trained on it. We use it for many projects and it is easy to cleanup with the new disposable nozzles.

Single cell cloning and imaging
We are using VIPS for CHO single cell disposition and monoclonality assurance. The learning curve was longer than what we expected but we did get better results from VIPS than our previous workflow using a standalone imager from another vendor.

Accelerated, modernized workflows:
- Gentler cell handling and high-efficiency seeding leading to higher efficiency outgrowth, workflows are accelerated and plate numbers are reduced.
- VIPS more than halves the time for single-cell cloning workflows when compared to a typical two-step limited dilution methodology.
- VIPS opens the door to the concept of the 384 well-based projects in a plate.
- Maximum confidence with the Double Lock of Assurance:
- VIPS offers the highest level of assurance with two tiers of quality evidence of clonality for confident IND submissions.
