Overview
The Pala Cell Sorter and Single Cell Dispenser is a compact benchtop platform engineered for rapid, gentle, and automated single-cell isolation. By integrating microfluidics, flow cytometry, and precision liquid dispensing, the system delivers high-viability single cells into multi-well plates within minutes, supporting efficient cell line development and advanced single-cell workflows.
Features
• Gentle sorting (<2 PSI) to preserve high cell viability
• Rapid single-cell dispensing with ~2 minutes per 96-well plate
• Sterile microfluidic cartridge system eliminating carryover risk
• Dual-laser fluorescence detection with up to 11 channels
• Automated workflow requiring minimal operator training
• Compact benchtop footprint compatible with biosafety cabinets
