Cell Robotics announces breakthrough in microscopic fluid handling.ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 1996--Cell Robotics Inc. today announced the new model CellSelector(tm), a remote-controlled precision microsyringe pump which handles picoliter volumes and selects and isolates single cells or particles with absolute purity. The smooth action of this lightweight model provides even greater positioning accuracy and maneuverability than before. The CellSelector(tm) allows the user to carefully deliver and withdraw picoliter volumes of fluid in precise, microscopic locations with fingertip fin·ger·tip n. The extreme end or tip of a finger. control. The unique design of the CellSelector(tm) eliminates flow fluctuations commonly found in other pumps and allows the module to be directly mounted on the microscope stage Noun 1. microscope stage - a small platform on a microscope where the specimen is mounted for examination stage platform - a raised horizontal surface; "the speaker mounted the platform" . The pump's fluid flow is computer controlled when used with the Cell Robotics Microscope Workstation, to allow continuous or pulsed delivery of minute volumes of fluid over specified periods of time. Commercially available, disposable micropipette mi·cro·pi·pette n. 1. A very small pipette used in microinjection. 2. A pipette used to measure very small volumes of liquids. micropipette a pipette for handling small quantities of liquids (up to 1 ml). tips are used with the CellSelector(tm), with the tip visible in the microscope's field of view, so that cell and fluid manipulation can be readily observed. In addition to precisely manipulating minute volumes, the CellSelector(tm) is designed to accomplish the unambiguous selection and isolation of rare cells or particles. Applications are extremely broad and include rare cell isolation for cloning or genetic analysis, sorting of selected chromosome fragments, delivery of microdrops of stains or antibodies to obtain spatially limited chemical reactions, and collection and storage of cells or particles.
