Institute of Biotechnology AS CR, v. v. i. and TATAA Biocenter Expands Offerings on Single Cell Profiling with ALS CellCelector.
The Department of Gene Expression and the qPCR and dPCR Core facility at the
Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IBT CAS) in Prague has acquired the
CellCelector single cell isolation system from ALS Automated Lab Solutions GmbH. The IBT CAS is a
leader in single cell gene expression and recently developed qPCR tomography to measure
intracellular expression profiles. The Institute team is also in the forefront of profiling
circulating tumor cells. “After careful evaluation of the various options available, we found that
ALS CellCelector best fits our needs and current high throughput single cell expression profiling
workflow”, says Vlasta Korenkova, head of the qPCR and dPCR core facility.
“We are very delighted that IBT scientists have chosen our CellCelector for their needs in single cell isolation including recovery of pure circulating tumor cell from patient samples”, comments Constantin Nelep, Marketing Director at ALS Automated Lab Solutions. “We are also particularly excited as the system installed at IBT in Prague is the first CellCelector in the Czech Republic.”
IBT CAS collaborates closely with TATAA Biocenter, which is the world´s largest organizer of hands-on training in molecular diagnostics and the prime provider of single cell profiling reagents and services. “The CellCelector is a great platform and it is the most valuable contribution to our single cell expression profiling courses”, says Kristina Lind, head of TATAA Biocenter's training organization.
