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.
