2 results about "Transfer cell" patented technology

A cell transfer apparatus transfers cells scattered in a first container to a second container. The cell transfer apparatus includes a head with a suction tip, a movement mechanism for the head, a camera that captures images of the first container, a cell recognition unit that performs position recognition of the cells based on the images, and a control unit that controls the head and the movement mechanism to perform a transfer operation of the cells based on a result of the position recognition. The control unit gradually suctions the set quantity of target cells that is set to two or more in advance into the suction tip from among the cells scattered in the first container, causes the head to move to the second container, and then discharges the set quantity of the target cells suctioned into the suction tip to the same location in the second container.

This invention relates to the field of single-cell functional analysis and microfluidic chip technology, and discloses a kit and method for in-situ sequential quantitative detection of secreted and intracellular proteins in the same single cell. The kit includes: a microcavity array chip; a secreted protein capture antibody barcode chip and an intracellular protein capture antibody barcode chip; a plastic clamp; a bioaffinity modification reagent; secreted protein standards, intracellular protein standards, secreted protein detection antibody stock solution, and intracellular protein detection antibody stock solution; a fluorescent conjugate, antibody buffer, antibody blocking solution, cell lysis buffer, and cell washing buffer. The method of this invention, through a sequential detection process of first capturing and incubating secreted proteins, followed by in-situ lysis to capture intracellular proteins, achieves high-throughput, high-sensitivity, and high-specificity in-situ sequential quantitative detection of secreted and intracellular proteins in the same single cell without cell transfer or loss of spatial location information. It can establish a correlation analysis of "intracellular signaling pathway activation - external functional output" in single cells, providing a powerful tool for disease mechanism research, drug screening, and immunotherapy evaluation.
