オンチップ・バイオテクノロジーズ Company Profile

Meeting the research and experimental needs in the life sciences field. We are On-Chip Biotechnologies.

【World's First! Flow Cytometer/Cell Sorter Using Microfluidic Chips】 Our company has developed and commercialized a flow cytometer and cell sorter using microfluidic chips, leading the world in this technology. By mounting both devices on a disposable microfluidic chip in the fluid delivery system, we have eliminated the need for sheath tanks and waste tanks, achieving maintenance-free operation and compact design suitable for installation within safety cabinets. We have already sold approximately 50 units to major pharmaceutical companies, universities, and public research institutions. 【What is a Flow Cytometer?】 A flow cytometer is a device that rapidly flows microparticles, such as cells in a liquid, and irradiates them with laser light to measure the scattered light or fluorescence emitted by microparticles that have been pre-labeled with fluorescent substances. Those flow cytometers that have the capability to separate specific cells are referred to as cell sorters. Both are essential devices for cell research.
