mmi CellEctor - Overview

Molecular analysis of pure, enriched cell populations or single cells is an important prerequisite of medical genomics and proteomics and is essential for molecular patient profiling. To date, this goal has often been difficult and tedious to accomplish. Therefore, we developed a new analysis and cell sorting device: the mmi CellEctor.

The isolation of single and rare cells from small sample sources is a prerequisite for their genotypic and phenotypic characterization. The mmi CellEctor is the starting point for a new integrated workflow. It facilitates the automated isolation of any type of single and rare cells in three steps:

• Cell Recognition
• Cell Acquisition
• Cell Deposition

Cell deposition is possible unto any desired analysis device, e.g. a reaction grid, like the Ampligrid, an IBIDI chamber, a PCR tube, or a microfluidic device. The mmi CellEctor is an adjustable and open platform for any assay format. It closes the gap between frequent and rare cell sorting in:

• Cancer Research and Oncology
• Immunology
• Stem Cell Research
• Biomedical Research
• Cellular Diagnostics
• Microbiology and Virology
• Environmental Ecology
• Forensics
• Material Sciences
