Breaking Barriers in Cell Sorting

Fast, massively parallel cell isolation. High purity, from tiny samples.

Patent-pending technology

Active Microrobots, Not Passive Diffusion

Live microscopy · a microrobot binding its target cell

Guided by dynamic magnetic fields, our microrobots actively scan the sample, find target cells and bind them on contact. No waiting for random collisions.

Active travel

Dynamic magnetic fields steer the microrobots through the sample, instead of relying on slow diffusion.

Target recognition

Antibody-coated surfaces bind cells carrying the matching surface marker.

Parallel isolation

Many microrobots work simultaneously across every well.

Tiny Samples. Massively Parallel Cell Isolation.

The instrument

SORTnROLL:

Benchtop cell sorter and magnetic field generator.

25 × 25 × 20 cm · Fits inside a laminar flow hood

The workflow is adapted to 96-well plates, with each well serving as a separate sorting space.

Up to 384 samples at the same time

~10 min sorting time

Down to 5,000 input cells in a single well

Multi-well plate workflow with ready-to-use kits and no separate antibody incubation.

The consumables

Isolation Kits: Antibody-coated active particles

Active particles, powered by SORTnROLL, travel through the sample instead of waiting for diffusion.
Custom-made kits built for your marker of choice.
Negative and positive isolation, leaving cells untouched or bead-bound as your workflow needs.
Suitable for different workflows, from very low cell inputs to bulk isolation.
