First isoPick™ showcases at upcoming ELRIG CRISPR IN DRUG DISCOVERY 2023 event in Oxford (UK) and SLAS 2023 meeting in San Diego (USA)
OXFORD, UK, February 06, 2023 / B3C newswire / -- iotaSciences, a spin-out from Oxford University in the field of single-cell handling solutions announced today product development completion for its newly built single cell picker instrumentation isoPick™. isoPick™ represents a powerful addition to iotaSciences´ existing product portfolio for single-cell handling solutions based on its proprietary fluid-shaping technology. The product portfolio comprises instruments for automatic isolation, feeding and harvesting of cells (isoCell™) as well as verification and documentation of monoclonality and tracking of respectively derived cell clones (isoHub™).
The new isoPick™ instrument ensures temperature-controlled ultra-gentle handling of single cells during isolation and picking through a simple workflow guided by highly intuitive and user-friendly touchscreen interfaces. Like iotaSciences´ other solutions the isoPick™ is a small footprint instrument with low maintenance need. Those features should translate well into tangible user benefits for cell & gene therapy researchers and the wider single cell research community with an easy-to-use end-to-end solution for verifiable isolation of single cells where high cell viability and single-cell outgrowth is maintained.
First applications have been successfully developed related to whole genome-amplification of single cells or single-cell genomics, as well as human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-based cell-line engineering.
iotaSciences’ Chief Business Officer Alexander Feuerborn commented: “We are highly excited about the availability of the isoPick™ instrument in order to extend our existing portfolio of single-cell handling solutions. This should help to further drive the growing installed base of iotaSciences´ solutions in customer labs in Europe, the U.S and Asia“.
iotaSciences will showcase its new isoPick™ system for the first time at the upcoming ELRIG CRISPR IN DRUG DISCOVERY 2023 event in Oxford (UK) from February 7-8, 2023 and more internationally at the SLAS2023 conference in San Diego (USA) from February 25 – March 1, 2023.
