オンチップ・バイオテクノロジーズ Company Profile

Meeting the research and experimental needs in the life sciences field. We are On-Chip Biotechnologies.

【World's First! Flow Cytometer/Cell Sorter Using Microfluidic Chips】 Our company has developed and commercialized the world's first flow cytometer and cell sorter using microfluidic chips. By mounting both devices on disposable microfluidic chips in the liquid delivery system, we have eliminated the need for sheath tanks and waste tanks, achieving maintenance-free operation and compact design that allows installation within safety cabinets. We have already sold approximately 50 units to major pharmaceutical companies, universities, and public research institutions. 【What is a Flow Cytometer?】 A flow cytometer is a device that rapidly flows microparticles such as cells in a liquid, irradiates them with laser light, and measures the light scattered by these microparticles or the fluorescence emitted by microparticles that have been pre-labeled with fluorescent substances. Those flow cytometers that have the capability to separate specific cells are referred to as cell sorters. Both are essential devices for cell research.
