2024 Small and Medium Enterprise Agency Award Winner! On-chip Droplet Selector Brings Innovation to Cell and Microbe Screening
The "On-chip(R) Droplet Selector" is the world's only device capable of rapidly analyzing, separating, and dispensing single droplets, such as water droplets containing a large number of encapsulated cells and microorganisms. Its innovation and usefulness have been recognized, and it received the "Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises Award" for first place in the Excellent New Technology and New Product Award for Small and Medium Enterprises in April 2024. By reducing the labor and time required for screening, it significantly improves efficiency, bringing innovation to cell and microorganism screening. Compared to traditional methods using microplates, it enables a throughput that is 1,000 times greater. 【Features】 ■ Dispenses droplets collected in a microfluidic chip ■ Separates target droplets one by one through air pressure control ■ Capable of analyzing not only droplets but also cells and GMD (gel microdroplets) ■ The air inside the device is always clean due to a HEPA filter ■ The working environment can be controlled by enclosing it in a special anaerobic chamber *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Features】 ■ The world's only device capable of analyzing, separating, and dispensing a large number of droplets containing cells and microorganisms. 【User Feedback】 1) Public Research Institution A This device, which allows for high-speed microbial screening by encapsulating microorganisms in numerous oil-in-water droplets, has the potential to bring innovation to microbial screening, an area that has seen little innovation until now. For example, humanity has only understood about 1% of the microorganisms present on Earth, with over 99% remaining unknown. I believe that by using this device, we can discover "beneficial microorganisms" that contribute to human health and sustainable economic development. 2) University B I was amazed at how user-friendly and easy to operate this device is, significantly reducing the time and effort required. Furthermore, while traditional cell sorters can only handle cells and small particles, this product impressively accommodates a variety of materials, including oil-in-water droplets, gels, and larger cell and particle samples. During the demonstration period before implementation, we successfully increased the productivity of a substance containing microorganisms several times (this is referred to as breeding).

Company information
【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.
