The MMI CellTools software platform enables for seamless integration of additional MMI modules such as laser microdissection (CellCut) and laser tweezers (CellManipulator) by supporting plug-in software. The friendly and intuitive interface allows for simple expansion as well as easy and quick learning to efficiently work with all MMI systems. In combination with the MMI CellExplorer, […]
#CellEctorFact No 8: It’s a microscope!
MMI uses standard inverted research microscope platforms from major brands (Nikon, Olympus), thus we offer fully motorized or manual systems, with or without fluorescence, to meet your current and future needs. When not using CellEctor to isolate cells, the microscope can also be used for all standard applications.
#CellEctorFact No 7: Be precise!
The MMI CellEctor comes with a software-controlled 3D micromanipulator for capillary positioning with a repositioning accuracy of < 2 μm. In addition, we use a precise software controlled microscope stage with repositioning accuracy of < 2 μm. Once identified, you will be able to target and isolate your cell of interest accurately!
#CellEctorFact No 6: Shake it!
[youtube id=“M0z7R4NQWrI“] The MMI CellEctor is not only able to pick cells from suspension. The unique shaking mode allows you to gently detach adherent cells before aspiration. Your target cells will not be harmed and can be used for growing a new culture.
#CellEctorFact No 5: Pick them all!
The MMI CellEctor is able to pick cells and particles from suspension (patent EP2017083872 (A1)) as well as from adherent cell culture of various origins such as plant cells, animal, and human cells. Also rare cells such as circulating tumor cells, or embryonic cells from a cervical smear can be efficiently separated and isolated.
