Dear all,
we are interested in picking single cells for RNA-seq and we are looking around for semi- or fully automatic devices capable of doing that with high throughput in a very short time. Looking of the solutions currently available we came across a company commercializing a CellSorter - FACS in a petri dish. Both fluorescent and unlabelled live cells in a Petri dish observed with a microscope can be automatically recognized by computer vision and picked up by a computer-controlled micropipette fixed to the objective lens. The maximum number of cells picked up from a Petri dish was about 1,000 limited by their current sorting speed of 1 cell per second.
The company is based in Budapest (Hungary) but has no distributors in my country (Sweden). I was wondering whether anyone had heard of or worked with this machine. Is it really as easy as they claim?
Thanks a lot!
