Microfluidic device for automated single cell manipulation

The SCM Made Easy system is a simple device allowing single cell manipulation. It has been designed to encapsulate cells in a small volume (2nL), enabling further analysis such as cloning and genomics. The channels of the chip can easily be changed to adapt to various cell types, ranging from bacteria to neurons. The microfluidic chip is meant to be held by any automated device allowing droplet distribution into the microwells of a plate (96 or 384 wells) for further analyses.
