The Beacon Quest™ is an automated 2-chip optofluidic system that allows you to run thousands of miniaturized single-cell assays in parallel and then recover cells of interest.
Beacon Quest integrates a wide variety of capabilities necessary for understanding cellular phenomes, providing a connected view of biology.
NanoPen chambers are 100,000 times smaller in volume than a microwell. Isolate and assay a single cell within minutes. You won’t need to wait weeks for a larger quantity of cells. You have complete flexibility to run fully-automated assays, sequentially or simultaneously to unlock new discoveries and insights on a single platform.
OEP fluidics uses light and millions of light-actuated pixels to move individual cells so they can be isolated, cultured, assayed and exported. Each cell or clone is imaged and monitored in real-time in a NanoPen® chamber on our OptoSelect® chips to provide rich visual data early and often. Our full platform and software suite deliver cell processing and deep profiling with more information about cell function than any other technology.
Our software automatically detects individual cells and then uses patterned light to isolate single cells into NanoPen chambers.
As cells expand fresh media is perfused across the chip, nutrients diffuse in and waste diffuses out while the software images the NanoPen chambers continuously – enabling cell counting, growth rate calculations, or other morphological characterization.
Run thousands of assays in parallel using our NanoPen chambers that are 100,000 times smaller in volume than a microwell in a 96 well plate – enabling phenotypic characterization of individual or populations of cells.
Selectively recover your best cells with phenotypes of interest from NanoPen chambers for downstream processing including sequencing or live cell recovery.
Cell Analysis Suite (CAS®) runs all assay operations, from importing samples to exporting live cells of interest. Easy drag and drop workflow builder for flexible assay setup.
Filter, sort and visualize individual pens to review the history of each clone throughout your workflows and downselect cells or NanoPen chambers of interest. Compile your images and data into a PDF report with your new findings.
Score assays, count cells, consolidate images, view and process time lapse images, and perform pseudo coloring with this image visualization application.
