Single Cell Hunter

Single Cell Hunter (SCH) is a microchip-based automated live cell high-throughput screening and recovery platform. SCH can help bring about innovation and creativity in life sciences, especially immunology, drug discovery and clinical diagnosis.

Single Cell Hunter analyzes live cells on a microchip within a temperature-adjustable chamber with an exceptional advantage in catching the responses of stimulated cells under a near-physiological conditions and in identifying them in a time-lapse mode, which enables accurate evaluation of the real potential of each cell. Besides standard microchips for dynamic identification and recovery of fluorescence-labeled cells, the pre-coated microchips are available to perform fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay for identification of the cells that have an ability to secrete antibodies or specific antigen proteins.
