Catherine Grgicak

The DEPArray is the only automated instrument that can identify and recover individual rare cells The DEPArray cartridge leverages DEPArray technology to control the manipulation and collection of cells. The single-use, microfluidic cartridge contains an array of individually controllable electrodes, each with embedded sensors. This circuitry enables the creation of dielectrophoretic (DEP) cages around cells. After imaging, individual cells of interest are gently moved into the holding chamber for isolation and recovery.
