Single cell dispensers are specialized laboratory instruments used to isolate and dispense single cells for various analytical techniques. Often utilizing a combination of microscopy and microfluidics techniques, single cell dispensers can isolate stained or unstained cells and gently dispense cells into various-sized well plates for analysis. Single cell dispensers are an indispensable instrument for streamlining cell line development (CLD) by utilizing automation while increasing reproducibility and efficiency while ensuring monoclonality. Single cell dispensers ensure monoclonality in several different ways and the methods used should be compared to ensure compliance with your specific assay. Plate formats should also be considered as these can vary from instrument to instrument and most instruments can accommodate multiple plate sizes. Plate sizes can also affect analysis time, with higher capacity plates leading to longer analysis times. Lastly, the size of your cells should be considered, single cell dispensers are often compatible with a range of cell sizes but compatibility with your specific cell sizes should be ensured.

The F.SIGHT™ OMICS is a novel, easy-to-use benchtop cell sorter that reliably dispenses single cells into PCR plates and facilitates downstream reaction miniaturization. Sorting is carried out by brightfield image The new microfluidic cell sorter that dispenses single cells into PCR plates.
The F.SIGHT™ OMICS is a novel, easy-to-use benchtop cell sorter that reliably dispenses single cells into PCR plates and facilitates downstream reaction miniaturization. Sorting is carried out by brightfield image analysis and fluorescence with a 488 nm laser. The F.SIGHT OMICS uses CYTENA's patented dispensing technology, which is compatible with sensitive cell types and minimizes cell stress. The Automatic Offset Correction allows reproducible, targeted delivery of individual cells to the center of each well.
The F.SIGHT OMICS needs only minimal startup time and does not require manual adjustments of sorting parameters. It can fill a 96-well plate in under 2 minutes and a 384-well plate in under 8 minutes. Additionally, the instrument’s simple, intuitive software interface helps capture a series of nozzle images for each cell that are available for additional analysis and verification of clonality.
Key features and benefits: - Sorting by bright-field image analysis and fluorescence
- Fast and gentle single cell dispensing
- Automated Offset Correction for precise dispensation into PCR plates

The UP.SIGHT™ streamlines cell line development (CLD) workflows by automating labor-intensive and time-consuming steps. We have combined our patented, highly efficient, fast and gentle single-cell dispensing technology with a superfast, high-quality imaging system that provides a full well image without image stitching. The UP.SIGHT offers two independent methods of assuring monoclonality: first, images are taken at the dispensing nozzle to ensure only one cell is placed in each well and nonclonal droplets are discarded; second, the single cells are confirmed once more with 3D Full Well Imaging, a new and innovative method that images the full volume of each well from the point of dispensing using the integrated imager, leading to a probability of clonality >99.99%.
Key features and benefits: - Double assured clonality
- Minimal cell loss
- Small footprint and benchtop
