Nano-point Delivery/Nano-point Sampling Single Cellome Unit™ SU10

Single Cellome Unit SU10 enables the delivery of substances, such as recombinant proteins and genome editing tools, directly to the cytoplasm or nucleus of targeted single cells. It can also perform sampling at the single-cell level.
For use with an inverted optical microscope and a stereo microscope type. The microscope is not included with the SU10.

Single-cell Targeted Delivery & Sampling

  • Supports research on liquid-liquid phase separation and organelles, such as mitochondria, autophagy, and proteasome
  • Enables manipulation of phase separation by promoting or inhibiting droplet formation
  • Enables directly targeting of the cytoplasm and nucleus

Efficient Intracellular Protein & Probe Delivery

  • Fully compatible with live-cell imaging systems, such as the confocal scanner unit CSU series, enabling high temporal resolution analysis
  • Delivers antibodies and fluorescent probes directly to the cytoplasm and nucleus
  • Delivers genome editing tools such as ribonucleoproteins (RNPs)

Substance Delivery to Primary Cells and Plant Cells

  • Enhances transfection efficiency in neurons
  • Provides a promising new method for delivering substances into cells with rigid cell walls and high turgor pressure, such as plant cells

High-Efficiency, Low-Damage Intracellular Delivery

  • Utilizes ultra-fine glass capillaries (nanopipettes) with tip diameters as small as several tens of nanometers
  • Automates cell surface detection, membrane penetration, and material injection
