Cell Metric VIPS System Configuration:
Seeding Mechanism:
• Low-pressure nanoliter droplet dispensing (< 1 psi) for gentle cell handling.
• Suitable for fragile and high-value cells (e.g., iPSCs, CHO cells, HEK293).
In-Well Imaging:
• Z-stack imaging at 20 focal positions per well for enhanced depth resolution.
• High-clarity images even at well edges.
• Whole-plate laser focus scanning adjusts for plate contour variations.
Two-step clonality assurance:
• Confirmation of single-cell seeding immediately after dispensing.
• Daily imaging of outgrowth during the clonal growth phase.
Media Dispensing:
• Automated in-line media dispensing immediately after seeding and imaging.
Automated Wash Station:
• Built-in cleaning and sterilization reduce cross-contamination risks and maintain consistent performance across multiple projects.
Cell Metrics Software installed licenses:
• Monitor cell growth
• CLD Verify clonality
• CLD Monitor proliferation
• CLD Verify clonality via fluorescence
• VIPS Day Zero Scanning
• High Accuracy Quality Control Scan
• Instrument control
• Results view

Testing performed by our in-house service team:
The Cell Metric VIPS System passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:
• We tested the power and initialization procedures.
• We verified the performance of the internal PC and software to confirm smooth operation and responsiveness of the user interface.
• We examined the plate carrier movement for precise positioning and smooth operation across the work area.
• We assessed the camera functionality to guarantee clear image capture for cell analysis.
• We verified the operation of the plate loader and its temperature stability.
• We ran multiple scans to confirm repeatable operation.
Instrument Overview:
• Solentim Cell Metric VIPS is an automated system for single-cell seeding and high-resolution imaging in 96-well plates.
• Combines precision dispensing with real-time verification of single-cell deposition in each well.
• Features a built-in imaging system to capture evidence of monoclonality immediately after seeding.
• Supports high-throughput clonal cell line development workflows in cell therapy and biologics labs.
• The Cell Metric VIPS uses microfluidic dispensing to ensure gentle and accurate cell placement.
• Compact design integrates with existing lab equipment and workflows for cell line development.
Instrument Application:
• Clonal cell line development
• Monoclonality assurance for regulatory submissions
• Single-cell isolation and imaging
• Antibody-producing cell screening
The Key Features:
• Single-cell dispensing using a patented microfluidic system
• In-situ imaging to confirm monoclonality at the time of seeding
• Automated seeding into 96-well plates
• High-resolution imaging optics for clear cell visualization
• Compact benchtop footprint with user-friendly interface
