Quotes from our customers
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Rating 5.0 / review on SelectScience: "I can recommend it to anyone who wants to pick single cells or clone... It is user-friendly."
Reviewer: Moonsook Lee. Application Area: Whole genome amplification from single cells. Review Date: 13 Dec 2022 | CellRaft AIR System.
Genetech
Rating Extremely Satisfied (5 Stars): “The system is great for difficult-to-clone cell lines and has powerful imaging technology to help with our cell engineering assays.”
Jillian Pattison, Senior Scientific Researcher.

“We recommend the CellRaft Technology for our colleagues struggling with single cell isolation. Even with help from FACS, although single cell clones could be obtained, from our experiences, CellRaft not only speeds up this process by providing many more clones but more importantly, the unique monitoring process provided by CellRaft supplies additional information for every single clone with a higher quality of clones.”
Pengda Liu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics.
School of Medicine / The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
“We can now easily identify thousands of single organoids with various morphologies (size, shape, complexity) and isolate hundreds in less than an hour. We also use the CellRaft AIR System for cloning of transgenic or CRISPR-edited human intestinal stem cells. Prior to the air system, the efficiency of isolating clonal lines was very inefficient because of the low throughput. Now we can isolate hundreds or thousands of clonal organoids in an unprecedented short amount of time compared to before.”

“The generation of these double positive clonal lines saved my lab of a lot of time and effort, allowing the rapid generation of multiple highly stable clones that had persistent expression for in vitro and in vivo assays. This proved superior to our flow-based methodologies, which were never as transgene positive or stable (in terms of expression) over multiple passages.”
