Testing performed by our in-house service team:
The Cytena C.Sight Single-Cell Printer passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:
- We tested the power and initialization procedures to ensure the Cytena C.Sight Single-Cell Printer was functioning correctly.
- We verified the performance of the internal PC and software to confirm smooth operation and responsiveness of the user interface.
- We examined the plate carrier movement for precise positioning and smooth operation across the work area.
- We assessed the camera functionality to guarantee clear image capture for cell analysis and selection.
- We conducted cell counting using 3 μm microbeads to validate the system's accuracy in enumerating single cells.
- We measured cell diameter with 3 μm microbeads to confirm the instrument's precision in determining cell size.
- We tested cell focusing using the 10 μm microbeads to ensure the system's capability to bring cells into sharp focus for analysis.
- We performed well-dispensing tests to check for the accurate and consistent dispensing of single cells into designated wells.
- We evaluated the door safety sensor to confirm that it correctly detected open and closed states, ensuring laboratory safety protocols were met.
Instrument Overview:
- The Cytena c.sight is a benchtop instrument for the precise dispensing of single cells into microplates.
- Utilizes advanced imaging technology for cell identification.
- Features single-cell dispensing technology, providing accurate and sterile isolation of cells.
- Its compact design includes a humidified chamber to maintain cell viability during sorting processes.
- The system's low-volume dispensing capability enables minimal reagent usage, thereby reducing overall costs.
Instrument Application:
- Single-Cell Genomics: Isolating cells for DNA/RNA sequencing.
- Clonal Cell Line Development: Ensuring monoclonality for bioproduction.
- Cell Therapy: Selecting cells for personalized treatments.
- Rare Cell Analysis: Studying cells that are scarce in a population.
- Drug Discovery: Screening compounds on individual cells for efficacy and toxicity.
- Antibody Production: Isolating B cells for therapeutic antibody development.
- Microbial Research: Investigating single microorganisms for various applications.
- High-Throughput Experiments: Streamlining the process of cell-based assays.
The Key Features:
- High-resolution imaging for precise cell selection.
- Non-contact, gentle dispensing of single cells.
- Sterile, disposable cartridges ensure sample purity.
- Software-controlled image recognition and sorting.
- Applicable to a wide range of cell types and sizes.

WHY DO CUSTOMERS MAKING CRITICAL LAB PURCHASES CHOOSE TO ORDER CELL DISPENSERS FROM US?
They want to ensure the entire optical assembly is free of debris, dust, or haze, especially between emission filters and lenses, which often go unchecked by untrained resellers and silently degrade image quality.
They want to confirm that the piezo-electric driven droplet generator can separate or deposit single cells into individual wells on the plate.
They want to confirm the onboard cameras are fully functional, properly focused, and responsive across multiple points, ensuring accurate cell separation and collection.
They want assurance that the motorized sample stage is responsive and accurately positions the microplates for cell capture, avoiding well misalignment.
They want to confirm that electronic noise and EMI levels at the detector/amplifier stage remain within tolerance and will not distort image quality.
They want to ensure the embedded computer is performing optimally and does not have registry issues that cause slow operation.
They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.
