Cell Microsystems, a provider of innovative tools for single cell research, announced today it has received two NIH Small Business Innovation and Research awards totaling $1.9M to automate CRISPR workflows using its proprietary CellRaftA microscale polystyrene growth surface within an array used to spatially segregate cells/colonies while maintaining shared media access, enabling imaging over time and targeted isolation. Technology. These grants will accelerate our on-going work toward automating CRISPR workflows on the CellRaft AIR™ System that will provide a more efficient alternative to other cloning and sorting technologies. Culturing viable, single cells on the CellRaft™ Array after applying guide RNAs, then tracking clonal colony formation and other phenotypes for screening, gives the CellRaft AIR SystemAn all-in-one platform for imaging, identifying, and isolating viable single cells, colonies, or organoids using CellRaft Arrays and software-guided selection with CellRaft Cytometry. tremendous value in CRISPR workflows.
