Cell Therapy
Supporting Quality by Design approaches
Picodroplets provide a perfect platform for cell therapy development and manufacture. Assess each cell individually and be confident in the quality. If you’d like to know how our technology could help you with your cell therapy projects, please contact our team, they’d be happy to discuss this with you!
- Individual cell-level characterization
- Integrated workflows – edit, characterize, and select
- Functional assays
Built on picodroplet technology
At the heart of our platforms are picodroplets – picolitre-volume aqueous droplets in a carrier oil. Each droplet acts as a tiny separate test tube. Cells are encapsulated in droplets with the assay reagents and passed through microfluidics for sorting and dispensing. Miniaturized, high-speed and fully automated to streamline your application.
Understanding your cells
Functional assays
Assessing cell-cell interactions
Picodroplets provide a unique method to assess cell-cell interactions at the individual cell level. We co-encapsulate one each of two cell types in a single droplet along with reagents to measure the results of the interaction. Thus, you can identify the specific engineered therapeutic cells best interacting with the target cells.
Proven on primary cells
Gentle handling of high-value material
Picodroplets provide a protective environment for cells. By encapsulating cells in droplets, they are protected from high shear stresses during movement – so you can work fast at high throughputs. With high rates of gas exchange and minimal small-molecule leakage, your cells remain in first-class condition. Picodroplets are proven on primary T-cells, B-cells, and neuronal cells.

Resources & insights
What our customers are saying
“Single cell analysis allows detection of those very rare antibodies or potential drugs with unique properties that are exceptionally hard to find. My experience in drug discovery since the early 1990s all points to the importance of diversity, and Cyto-Mine® is well-placed to explore this effectively. This technology takes screening capability, traditionally conducted through plate-based analysis, to a whole new level via continuous flow. There is huge potential for the instrument in discovering the rarest cells and best antibodies”
