DESIGN NAME: Optical Sorting
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Biological Cell Sorting
INSPIRATION: The Optical Cell Sorting System is a breakthrough in cell sorting for biomedical research. It replaces time-consuming, sample-damaging manual sorting with optoelectronic dielectrophoresis, which precisely controls cells for efficient, undamaged sorting. This technology boosts accuracy and speed, providing a reliable, streamlined cell sorting and culture process. The Light Operator enhances lab efficiency, enabling scientists to advance cell research.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Efficiently screening and analyzing antibody discovery is crucial for reducing time and costs in antibody drug development. Traditional hybridoma technology faces challenges like long cycles, limited diversity, and inadequate functional analysis, hindering progress. The AI nanobiochip technology in the Light Workbench can rapidly separate, analyze, culture, and export tens of thousands of single cells simultaneously, completing positive plasma cell screening in one day.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: First, the cells or other biological samples to be sorted are prepared and loaded into the microfluidic chip of the system. Then, the optical-induced dielectrophoresis technology is used to manipulate and sort the cells based on their properties. During this process, the imaging system captures the images of the cells, and the software analyzes the images in real-time to identify and classify the cells. Finally, the sorted cells are collected, and the results are output and processed for subsequent research.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in December 2020 in Beijing and finished in August 2023 in Beijing.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Medical Devices and Medical Equipment Design
