Product catalog summary
Overview
The CellWriter 120 is a robotic workstation designed to automate the slide preparation process for Karyotyping and FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization). It bridges the gap between manual techniques and automated systems, enhancing the quality of interphase and metaphase nuclei analysis.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Automated cell dropping and probe/DAPI dispensing.
  • Integrated hybridization process.
  • Improved metaphase spread quality.
  • Capability to perform up to 8 assays on a single slide, reducing probe and assay costs.
  • Eliminates the need for rubber cement in slide preparation.
  • Processes up to 12 slides per batch.

FISHArray Technology
BioDot's FISHArray technology allows for multiplexed FISH assays, enabling the testing of one sample across multiple probes or multiple samples with the same probe simultaneously. This innovation reduces the number of washes, hybridizations, and slides needed for analysis.

Specifications
  • Dispense volume range: 100nl to 10ul with a precision of ±5%.
  • Humidity control: Ambient to 70% RH ±5%.
  • Slide temperature range: 4°C to 100°C ±1°C.
  • Fume filtering with specialty-blended filter media.

Performance
  • Dimensions: 460mm x 610mm x 460mm (18in x 24in x 18in).
  • Power requirement: 110/220 VAC; 50/60 Hz.
  • Weight: 38.6 kg (85lb).
  • Vacuum requirement: 2.1 CFM.
  • Air requirement: 45-60 psi.

Options and Configuration
  • CellWriter 120 STS with automated sample normalization.
  • LIMS integration.
  • CellWriter Slides for enhanced assay performance.
  • Dispense channels: 1 to 4 for samples/probes, 1 for FIX.
  • Barcode scanning capabilities: Linear, 2D, and stacked formats.

Conclusion
The CellWriter 120 enhances laboratory workflows by automating and improving the slide preparation process for FISH and Karyotyping, offering significant efficiency and quality improvements.

AUTOMATED DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR FLUORESCENCE IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Automated Cell Dropping Automated Probe/DAPI Dispensing Integrated Hybridization Improve Metaphase Spread Quality Perform Up To 8 Assays On One Slide Reduce Probe/Assay Cost Remove The Need For Rubber Cement 12 Slide Processing Capability The dropping process has remained a highly manual technique for years, leaving an automation void between harvesters and microscopes. CellWriter now completes the continuum, by automating the dropping process to deliver quality spread interphase and metaphase nuclei for analysis. The CellWriter 120 is a robotic workstation that produces slides for both Karyotyping and FISH. nanoliter dispenser (BioJetTM) with exquisite temperature and Image 1: Metaphase cell labeled with X Centromere (green) and Y Centromere (red) probes.

BioDot further simplifies the workflow by introducing a new, patented slide technology. CellWriter SlidesTM enable multiplexed FISH assays and eliminate the need for rubber cement when preparing for hybridization (a step that is both messy and time consuming).
