Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, single-cell analysis controllers commonly process thousands to tens of thousands of cells per run.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard laboratory power supply, commonly 220-240V, 50/60Hz, with a modest power draw.

Footprint

These controllers are generally designed for benchtop use, with a compact footprint suitable for most laboratory environments.

Interface

Typically features a user-friendly interface, often with touchscreen control or software integration for experimental setup and monitoring.

Sample input volume

Suitable for low volume biological samples, typically in the microlitre range.

Operating temperature

Designed for operation at standard laboratory ambient temperatures, typically 18-25°C.

• What consumables are typically required for a single-cell controller?

  Consumables commonly include microfluidic chips, reagents for cell barcoding, and buffers specific to the single-cell sequencing workflow. Buyers should confirm exact requirements with the seller.

• Is specialist training needed to operate this equipment?

• What maintenance is typically involved for a unit of this type?

• Can this unit be integrated with other lab automation systems?

• What kind of data output does this equipment generate?

Liquid handling stations are valued in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings for their precision and repeatability in fluid transfer tasks. When purchasing used equipment, buyers typically prioritise verifying calibration history, checking for corrosion or wear on critical components, and confirming software compatibility. The sector generally regards these systems as reliable workhorses when properly maintained. Common strengths include accuracy in dispensing, reduced operator fatigue, and consistent results across batches. Buyers should examine pump condition and control system functionality carefully.
