Advanced microfluidics and optical measurement solutions

for innovative research

Combining microfluidics-based droplet sorting with high-quality, real-time imaging creates a highly powerful and versatile cell sorting system. This integration leverages the strengths of both techniques, leading to several significant advantages in cell analysis and sorting.

Enhanced Precision and Real-Time Insights: The ‘Seeing is Believing’ approach transforms cell sorting from mere intensity peak analysis to a comprehensive visual journey. This provides real-time, image-based insights, revolutionizing user experience and interaction with experiments.

Increased Speed and Efficiency: Real-time imaging enables rapid assessment and sorting, significantly boosting throughput and efficiency. This is ideal for high-volume applications while maintaining exceptional precision and control, the main advantage of droplet sorting.

Detailed Analysis: High-resolution imaging offers detailed visual information about each cell, allowing for comprehensive analysis of morphological characteristics, fluorescence signals, and other phenotypic markers. Sorting can be performed with fluorescence labels or label-free, increasing flexibility and applicability.

Automation, Reproducibility, and High Cell Viability: The integration of automated microfluidics and real-time imaging minimizes human intervention, ensuring consistent, reproducible results, reducing sample loss, and maintaining high cell viability.

Our goal is to provide the best tools for scientists who work with droplet sorting to solve the unmet needs in life science research.

"ODIN is a big upgrade for our droplet-based microfluidic setups. Using the sensor unit, we developed an image-based droplet sorter, allowing us to perform complex droplet sorting experiments with a streamlined workflow."

 

FLORIAN AUBERMANN

Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research (MPI-MR)

"Our research group started using an ODIN camera for the selection and isolation of interesting microorganisms from natural samples. It allowed quick and incredibly convenient image-based sorting of droplets with high accuracy and versatility, greatly aiding our experiments. Additionally, the Sensific team provided us with comprehensive demonstrations and suggestions tailored to our special application needs..."

 

DR. SUNDAR HENGOJU

Bio Pilot Plant, Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (HKI)

"We are extremely satisfied with the ODIN system. Its high-speed object detection and virtually limitless recording capabilities have been game-changers for us. We tracked an object's movement over several days at 240 Hz. In my current project, I'm studying particles in a microfluidic channel, and capturing hundreds of thousands of particles is a breeze with ODIN's rapid counting. It's been incredibly helpful!"

 

DR. RICO ILLING

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Intelligent Materials and Systems (HZDR)

"Since day one, I have closely collaborated with Sensific and was among the first users of ODIN. This system has played a key role in my research, enabling droplet-based sorting experiments with various organisms at up to 150 Hz. This powerful tool has significantly supported my work. I also greatly appreciate Sensific’s commitment to providing tailored solutions."

 

PATRICIA SCHWILLING

Ulm University, Institute of Experimental Physics

"I have been using ODIN for particle analysis, specifically for monitoring cells in a microfluidic channel. The system’s pulsed illumination and filtered acquisition with the built-in high-speed camera provided outstanding resolution, allowing me to clearly visualize and distinguish individual cells as they passed through the channel. I was particularly impressed by the level of detail achievable, which significantly enhanced my analysis. One of the most valuable features for me was ODIN’s ability to automatically determine parameters such as cell size or cell velocity. This, combined with its high imaging quality, made my experiments both efficient and insightful. Overall, I am very satisfied with ODIN and its capabilities."

 

LISA KWAPICH

Ulm University, Institute of Experimental Physics

“I am very satisfied with JUPITER. I primarily use it to control the camera sensor and generate custom line plots, which enable me to accurately read and save the intensity values of the pixels. The customization options, such as ROI, line plot, frame rate, and integration time, are particularly valuable to me. Additionally, it operates seamlessly, providing all the necessary features without any issues.”
