Service and support
Unmatched application support to
technical expertise at
your fingertips.
Clonal derivation - double assured
Two independent imaging systems ensure monoclonality for complete confidence.
Zero risk of contamination
Single-use EASY.ON cartridges eliminate any risk of cross contamination.
Fast and gentle dispensing
The system gently dispenses single cells into 384-well plates in ~8 minutes and into 96-well plates in ~2 minutes.
Measure titer and select clones
F.QUANT titer assay quantifies antibodies, Fc fusion proteins or Fab fragments to select high-producing clones, every time.
Assess clonal growth
Well bottom imaging tracks colonies by confluency measurement or cell count, whether you work with adherent or suspension cells.
Smart analysis software
C.STUDIO software, co-developed with UP.SIGHT, manages all your data, from single-cell dispensing up to growth measurements, titer evaluation, and clone picking.
Minimize cell loss
Cell focusing technology aligns cells at the center of the dispensing cartridge so you never miss a cell.
Fits in anywhere
Small in size, but mighty in function, UP.SIGHT fits right inside your biosafety cabinet, ready to dispense cells in sterile settings.
Works with your workflow
Single-use cartridges and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance compatible software means UP.SIGHT easily fits into your GMP workflow.
Fast and accurate single-cell dispenser
Single cells are gently dispensed into a 96-well plate in under 2 minutes or into a 384-well plate in under 7.
Dual imaging system
Overlay both brightfield and fluorescent images for precise identification of your cells of interest. Both cameras can be controlled independently and the power of the built-in blue laser is adjustable. Combined, their high dynamic range visualizes even the weakest fluorophores.
No risk of contamination
Eliminate the risk of cross contamination with single-use EASY.ON cartridges.
Assurance of single-cell isolation
Capture nozzle images for every dispensing run to confirm that only single cells were dispensed on the plate.
Cell Focusing technology
Align cells at the center of the dispensing cartridge for even better handling and processing of delicate samples.
Gentle single-cell dispensing
Handle and isolate delicate cells of interest with our no-pressure dispensing, minimizing the stress inflicted on cells.
Fast and efficient single-cell dispensing
Single cells are gently dispensed into a 96-well plate in under 2 minutes or into a 384-well plate in under 8 minutes.
No risk of contamination
Eliminate the risk of cross contamination during dispensing with single-use EASY.ON cartridges.
Assurance of clonality
Capture nozzle images for every dispensing run to assure that only single cells were dispensed in the plate.
Cell Focusing technology
Align cells at the center of the dispensing cartridge for even better handling and processing of delicate samples.
Easy setup
Begin single-cell isolation in minutes thanks to the C.SIGHT 2.0’s straightforward software.
Compact design
Place the C.SIGHT 2.0 in laminar flow hoods to isolate cells in a sterile environment.
Dual-channel high resolution microscopy
Detects even the smallest cells based on size and shape. The system comes with full capability to isolate unlabeled and fluorescently labeled single microorganisms.
High-speed isolation of cells
Accelerate your microorganism workflows with high-speed isolation of single bacteria or yeast into multiwell plates. Process a 96-well plate in 3 minutes and a 384- plate in under 8 minutes.
Assurance of clonality
Nozzle images confirm the clonality of dispensed single prokaryotic cells.
High cell viability
The B.SIGHT improves cell viability thanks to fast, gentle and easy-to-use label-free isolation of single bacteria directly into liquid culture or agar.
Compatible with anaerobic conditions
Small benchtop instrument that integrates into fume hoods and anaerobic chambers. Simply connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse or even use a remote control terminal.
Single-cell genomics of uncultivated bacteria
Dispense single cells from your complex microbiota sample in picolitre droplets directly into the center of the well in 96- or 384-well PCR plates, enabling downstream miniaturization with lysis buffer volumes less than 1 μL.
Automation ready
The B.SIGHT lid opens automatically, making the device compatible with robotic automation workflows. The instrument also has a small footprint and can easily be placed in most biosafety cabinets.
Dual Imaging System
Overlay both brightfield and fluorescent images for precise identification of your cells of interest.
No risk of contamination
Eliminate the risk of cross contamination with single-use EASY.ON cartridges.
Downstream miniaturization
Dispense cells in picolitre droplets into the center of the well in 384-well PCR plates, enabling downstream miniaturization with lysis buffer volumes less than 1 μL.
Fast single-cell dispenser
Isolate an entire 384-well plate with single-cells in under 8 minutes.
