Ideally suited for• Single cell isolation from cell suspensions

• Low volume, precious samples

• Adherent or non-adherent eukaryotic cells from various sample types

• Downstream molecular analyses◦ Aligned with QIAGEN’s single cell analysis portfolio

• Clonal expansion

“QIAscout turned out to be a very suitable system, allowing us to select and transfer our cell of interest with nearly 100% efficiency and survival rate for further downstream applications. The instrument has contributed greatly to our research. ”

The QIAscout array

• Can be used as standard cell culture dish• Microrafts are magnetic, dislodgeable

and self-sealing• Each array contains 12,000 microrafts

• Cells settle according to Poisson distribution

• 6000 cells equals a 30% chance of having a singe cell in a microraft
