The
CellRaft AIR System's innovative design allows users to connect downstream
nucleic acid and protein profiles to individual cells, enhancing the value and
precision of each experiment.
Know Exactly What Cells Are in Your Library
Genomic experiments often involve enriched cell populations that may still contain undesired cells, dead cells, doublets, debris, or artifacts.
The CellRaft AIR System’s imaging capabilities allow you to identify single cells and use software-guided tools to select desired cells based on viability or phenotypic criteria immediately after visualization.
Fast, effective, and gentle automated isolation preserves native expression profiles. Selected cells are quickly and gently transferred into lysis buffer with no need for trypsin, maintaining phenotypes and high cell quality. No minimum input is required, and the gentle movement allows a wide variety of cell types.

How it Works
Image Cells
Cells are plated on a CellRaft® Array using standard plating methods, eliminaing the need for trypsin, scraping, high-pressure fluidics, or limiting dilution. The array is subsequently scanned and imaged to track cell growth over time.
Grow Cells
Target cells grow unperturbed in optimized conditions in the imaging platform, increasing cell viability, and downstream read depth. The CellRaft Arrays allow different media, compound dosing, and growth conditions to be tested on a single consumablepropriety culture dish.
Isolate Cells
When target cells are ready for collection, the gentle release mechanism leaves cells unperturbed, so transfer to a PCR or culture plate won’t affect the quality of the cells for downstream analysis. Cells are also moved into lysis buffer quickly, preventing the degradation of genetic material in sensitive cell lines.
