The survey data indicates a further increasing interest in single cell isolation tools for the coming years.
Technologies for single cell isolation.
This review provides an overview of technologies that are currently used or in development to isolate single cells for subsequent single cell analysis.
Today a large variety of technologies for single cell separation isolation and sorting are already available that are applied according to the scientific objective.
Single cell isolation technologies based on the market survey above the methods and technologies presented hereafter are the most widespread technologies used for single cell handling.
The handling of single cells is of great importance in applications such as cell line development or single cell analysis e g for cancer research or for emerging diagnostic methods.
In general the applied methods strongly depend.
