Single Cell Sorting of CRISPR/Cas9-Expressing Cells Using the Sony SH800S

28 Jan 2019

By introducing the nuclease Cas9 into cells, along with guide RNA (gRNA) oligomers, it is possible to achieve highly specific genome editing. This application note details how the sort deposition system of the SH800S facilitates high-throughput sorting of successfully transfected Cas9/gRNA cells, into 96- and 384- well devices.

SH800 Cell Sorter

Sony Biotechnology

The benchtop SH800 cell sorter permits sorting of a wide range of cell sizes for many applications using the 70-µm, 100-µm, and 130-µm microfluidic sorting chips. This novel, chip-based design is fully integrated with comprehensive fluidics controls and advanced automation for set-up, acquisition, sort and analysis to make sorting less subjective, more precise and easier to perform. System software is intuitive and supports sorting into tubes and 96- and 384-well plates.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.
