UPDATE: WaferGen Presents Results from Company's Single-Cell System at the Single-Cell Genomics Meeting on September 16

WaferGen Bio-systems

presented results from its Single-Cell System at the Single Cell Genomics Conference in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The poster presentation included results from early access collaborators at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The landmark results demonstrated the ability of WaferGen's Single-Cell System to isolate thousands of single cells and process specific cells of interest for downstream analysis using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). buy provigil online no prescription The results demonstrated that WaferGen's Single-Cell system can consistently isolate up to 1,800 single cells per chip and also identify and process individual cells using its automated image analysis software. The Single-Cell system was shown to be capable of isolating various cell types, including mixtures of K562, U-87 MG, Z138 and Hela cells in experiments designed to mimic the heterogeneous cell types present in complex samples. In additional experiments where two cell types were mixed to contain approximately 1% of one of the cell types, the Single-Cell System was able to unambiguously identify wells that contained each cell type as evidenced by the analysis of NGS data from ~100,000 sequencing reads per cell. zolpidem online no prescription Data presented in early access experiments performed at Dr. Nicholas Navin's laboratory at MD Anderson Cancer Center showed that over a thousand SKBR3 cells (a triple negative breast cancer cell line), as well as nuclei isolated from these cells, can be isolated and dispensed. In additional early access experiments highlighted at the conference, the WaferGen Single-Cell System was capable of isolating and selecting over 13,000 single cells in less than 8 hours using the system's automated dispensing and image analysis software. buy xanax online "The WaferGen Single Cell System was used to dispense over 1,000 single neurons processed from fresh mouse brains and appears to be a very promising new technology for high throughput single cell analyses," said Dr. Sten Linnarsson, Professor of Molecular Systems Biology at the Karolinska Institutet. buy tramadol no prescription WaferGen's Single-Cell System has been successfully used to process a wide range of cell types, including live single neurons, human tumor cells, mouse tumor cells and nuclei, demonstrating unbiased cell dispensing. The system also runs up to eight samples of various cell types and sizes on a single chip, thus allowing applications such as therapeutic dose determination and gene insertion/deletion efficacy studies. The proficiency of the system to process a broad range of samples coupled with the ability to detect rare cell types with minimal sequencing costs allows researchers to more accurately interrogate complex samples, including tumor samples, to identify the cell types and genomic information critical to their research. buy phentermine online without prescription "We are extremely pleased with these results, both those presented at the conference, and those being generated at our various early access collaboration sites. We continue to expect the full commercial launch of our Single-Cell System in the fourth quarter of 2015," said Rollie Carlson, President and CEO of WaferGen. - See more at: http://www.wafergen.com/2015/09/16/wafergen-presents-results-from-companys-single-cell-system-at-the-single-cell-genomics-meeting/#sthash.x8mozWlu.dpuf
