CellRaft Array

Definition

Consumables containing thousands of microwells (containing CellRafts) for spatial segregation, imaging, and isolation of single cells, monoclonal colonies, or 3D cultures.

Why it matters

For scientific teams:

  • Enables high-density clonal workflows with full imaging traceability.
  • Supports parallel tracking of thousands of candidate clones.
  • Allows selection based on phenotype rather than survival alone.

For decision-makers:

  • Increases throughput without increasing labor or footprint.
  • Reduces clone attrition by enabling early, informed selection.
  • Supports scalable workflows across cell line development programs.

FAQ

Q: What’s the difference between a CellRaft and the array?

A: The CellRaft is the growth surface; the array is the consumable that houses thousands of CellRafts in defined microwells.

Q: Are these arrays compatible with clonal workflows?

A: Yes. They are designed to support clonal isolation, verification, and recovery.
