Digilab, Inc. Announces the Introduction of the CellJet Cell Printer

Holliston, MA – Digilab, Inc. announces the introduction of the CellJet Cell Printer for Live Cell Printing for High Content Analysis & Cell Assays. The CellJet utilizes Digilab’s proprietary Contamination-Free, Non-Contact synQUAD Dispensing technology offering both on-the-fly and drop-by-drop non-contact cell printing while maintaining the viability of even the most delicate cells. This CellJet offers users full control over critical dispense parameters such as height of dispense and dispensing speed, which allows printing of both viscous solutions and fragile cells.

The Digilab CellJet prints into plates or onto slides using a valve-free fluid path, which greatly reduces cell damage. The CellJet Cell Printer also includes full wash capability, an easy-to-clean and sterilize evaporation cover, and an effective instrument design for hassle-free maintenance. Cells are aspirated from their source through ceramic tips into coiled tubing and dispensed into microtiter plates or slides without making contact with any valve. The CellJet offers the ability to dispense a droplet anywhere within a microtiter plate or to multiplate droplets spatially within a single cell.
