CellWave

CellWaveTM Technology

Acoustic fluorescence activated cell sorting

We use a patented acoustic sorting chip that pulses a highly focused acoustic wave inside a microfluidic channel for precise sorting at the single cell level. Using industry standard fluorescence labelling and detection techniques, CellWaveTM gently isolates target cells from a sample stream.

High viability cell sorting

Conventional droplet sorters have a trade-off between purity and sample recovery, and can kill as much as 50% of your precious sample. Not with CellWaveTM. Our proprietary technology offers unrivalled cell sorting:

  • Up to 97% post-sort cell viability;
  • Over 95% post sort purity;
  • Up to 100% sample recovery with over 90% purity.
