Automated and efficient isolation of single cells into low volumes for scWGA

5 Aug 2024

Tumors and tumor-derived cancer cell lines comprise a mix of diverse and heterogeneous cells. To interrogate the complex genetic makeup underlying tumorigenesis, cancer progression and metastasis, it is essential that researchers can analyze the genomes of individual cells. A prerequisite for these analyses is whole-genome amplification (WGA). Successful WGA from individual cells requires efficient isolation of single cells and their transfer into low-volume WGA reactions. iotaSciences demonstrates how GRIDs and the scPicking Platform supports the isolation of individual tumor cells for subsequent single-cell WGA (scWGA).

isoPick – Single Cell Isolation

iotaSciences

The isoPick enables gentle single-cell isolation for a range of downstream applications such as single-cell cloning or analysis. Compatible with a variety of cell types, shapes, and sizes, the isoPick allows you to seamlessly acquire your single cells of interest. With a compact footprint, optional sample cooling, and automated handling of small liquid volumes, this instrument delivers the cells that matter to you with ease.
