In recent years, single cell analysis has become increasingly popular due to the new development of advanced and high sensitivity analytical methods.
SS2000 is a revolutionary system that can sample subcellular components and a whole cell by using a glass capillary tip with an inner diameter of a few μm while imaging with a confocal microscope.
This application note provides an example of single cell RNA sequencing scRNA seq) from cells sampled by SS2000, and the data is comparable to conventional methods.

Comparison between CSU and conventional LSM in 4D movies.

In recent years, single-cell studies have become increasingly popular as analytical techniques have become more sensitive and widespread.
The SS2000 is a revolutionary device that can sample intracellular components and single cells using glass capillary tips with a diameter of several micrometers while performing confocal microscope imaging. These application notes introduce examples of sampling for various cell types.

To investigate interactive dynamics of the intracellular structures and organelles in the stomatal movement through live imaging technique, a CSU system was used to capture 3-dimensional images (XYZN) and time-laps images (XYT) of guard cells.

In recent years, research on single cells has become increasingly popular. With more sensitive analytical techniques, it has become possible to analyze specific intracellular components such as organelles, even at the single-cell level.
The SS2000 is an innovative system that can sample subcellular intracellular components using a glass capillary having a tip diameter of only a few micrometers while imaging with a confocal microscope.
In this application note, we introduce a case where after drug treatment, intracellular components were sampled by the SS2000 and analyzed by single-cell mass spectrometry.

Cell stage categorized using FucciTime lapse imaging of Fucci-added Hela cells was conducted over 48 hrs at 1 hr intervals. Gating was performed based on the mean intensities of 488 nm and 561 nm for each cell. They were categorized into four stages, and the cell count for each was calculated.

The CQ1 confocal image acquisition mechanism with the distinctive CSU® unit has a function to sequentially acquire fine cell images along the Z-axis and capture information from the entire thickness of
cells which include heterogenic populations of various cell cycle stages. In addition, saved digital images can be useful for precise observation and analysis of spatial distribution of intracellular molecules.
The CQ1 capability to seamlessly analyze images and obtain data for things such as cell population statistics to individual cell morphology will provide benefits for both basic research and drug discovery
targetingM-cell cycle phase.

SU10 is a novel technology that enables the delivery of target substances directly into cells (nucleus or cytoplasm) using a "nano" pipette made of a glass capillary with an outer tip diameter of tens of nanometers.

In recent years, research on single cells has become increasingly popular, but with more sensitive analytical techniques, it has become possible to analyze specific intracellular components such as organelles at the single-cell level.

The SS2000 is an innovative system that can sample intracellular components at the single-cell level using a tip (glass capillary) with a diameter of several micrometers while imaging with a confocal microscope. In this application note, we introduce a case in which intracellular components were sampled by SS2000 and genetic analysis was performed by qPCR.
