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.
