Facility Details

Nanowell Cytometry platform is a shared resource housed in the Flow Cytometry Core that provides researchers access to single cell analysis technologies developed in the Love and Shalek Laboratories at the Koch Institute.

Seq-Well is a portable, low-cost platform for massively-parallel single-cell RNA-Seq. Barcoded mRNA capture beads and single cells are sealed in an array of subnanoliter wells using a semi-permeable membrane, enabling efficient cell lysis and transcript capture.

Additionally, the Core offers access to the following tools that enable single cell imaging and retrieval:

1) CellCelector, a tool which enables users to isolate single cells using an ultra-precise robotic micromanipulator. We also offer access to nanowell microplates which enable automated isolation of monoclonal and viable clones.

2) Incucyte S3 system that allows automatic image acquisition and analysis of cells in a physiologically relevant environment.
