The Fastest Way to Single Cell Isolation
The Pala Cell Sorter and Single Cell Dispenser is a platform that:
- Boosts efficiency in the lab by isolating and dispensing cells in ≤ 7 minutes
- Gives you high-quality, viable cells through gentle sorting (<2 psi)
- Adapts to a wide range of cell densities, from as little as 100 cell/mL
- Ensures consistency and ease through full automation
- Fits into your budget and cell culture hood by being affordable, light-weight, and compact
Sort Cells According to Your Requirements
Leverage the powerful combination of microfluidics, flow cytometry, and liquid dispensing in the Pala system to:
- Get single cells dispensed into 96- or 384-well plates with the Single Cell Sorting Mode
- Isolate rare cells from large populations with the Enrichment Mode
- Easily sort tens of thousands of cells with the Bulk Sorting Mode
Microfluidics in a Cartridge: Sterile, disposable, enables single cell sorting
Flow Cytometry: Cell viability ensured, no prior experience with flow cytometry needed
Liquid Dispensing: Cells dispensed into 97- or 384-well plates in minutes
