We demonstrate the benefit of this approach to screen antibodies for the specific binding of cancer target cells in a high throughput single cell format which should have immense clinical potential.
Single cell isolation microfluidics.
Single cell analysis has become one of the most important applications of microfluidic technology in recent years.
It refers to the process of isolation manipulation and analysis of the cells at single cell resolution in microfluidic chips.
Here we present a microfluidic system that can overcome these limitations making use of a dual color signal normalization approach.
131 132 in parallel this technology has been developed commercially by gigagen.
Using a hybrid microfluidics method droplets in channels can be individually addressed using a co planar electrode system.
The throughput of this method was later increased to 10 6 cells by single cell isolation using droplet microfluidics instead of compartmentalization in microwells.
In this work a microfluidic method that is capable of isolating single cells in droplets selecting successful edited clones and expansion of these isoclones is introduced.
Methods currently used for single cell isolation include.
Depending on the application single cell analysis chips can include any or all the above mentioned steps.
133 134 abvitro later acquired by juno therapeutics developed a similar approach for sequencing.
