Sartorius ALS CellCelector Automated Cell Imaging and Picking System with Olympus CKX41 Microscope

The Sartorius ALS CellCelector Automated Cell Imaging and Picking System integrates an Olympus CKX41 inverted microscope with a precision robotic arm and high-accuracy syringe pump, engineered for automated single-cell and cluster isolation. This platform is widely adopted in cell line development, rare cell selection, and live-cell imaging applications critical to biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology research.

Key technical features include:

• Automated cell micromanipulation with an exchangeable micro-capillary pickup module suitable for single cells or cell clusters, enabling precise aspiration and dispensing of liquids.
• Scientific-grade CCD camera coupled with brightfield and phase contrast illumination to deliver high-content imaging and reliable cell identification.
• Six standard microplate deck positions plus a dedicated waste position support automated sample handling workflows essential for bioprocessing and biomanufacturing pipelines.
• Safety integration with magnetic safety switches and enclosure monitoring ensures secure laboratory operation.
• The system supports automated colony picking and single-cell cloning workflows commonly used in gene editing and molecular cloning.

This versatile equipment is essential for researchers requiring high-precision, automated single-cell isolation and imaging capabilities in clinical diagnostics, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering domains. Its fully programmable robotic arm and CCD-based imaging enable reproducible and scalable cell picking critical for advanced biotechnology workflows.

The system is compatible with software-controlled operations (license dongle required) and is supported by comprehensive in-house testing and service. Shipping is managed with specialized packing methods designed to protect sensitive optical and robotic components, suitable for international delivery.

This solution is ideal for laboratories seeking an integrated platform for automated live-cell imaging during micromanipulation, facilitating research in synthetic biology, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing sectors with a focus on reproducibility and throughput enhancement.
