Verified In-Situ Plate Seeding on the VIPS system, followed by the Cell Metric CLD system, eliminates the need for a second round of cloning.
Combining these two instruments covers the workflow from cell seeding to cell cloning, growth assessment, and process optimisation.
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.
Cell Metric CLD High Contrast Imager Configuration:
• The system features automated plate handling within a temperature-controlled stacker for up to 10 plates to be loaded and scanned in one operation.
• Cell Metric CLD Plate Types: 96-well (BD Falcon 96, BD Falcon 96 TC Treated, Corning CellBIND, Corning 96, Eppendorf 96 Clear, Greiner Cellstar 6 Clear, Nunc 96 black wall, TPP 96 Well Clear)
• Manual scan mode formats: 6, 12, 24, 48-well plates
Scan Types:
• Cell line development:
- Verify clonality (verify that a single cell has been seeded in each well)
- Monitor clone growth (monitor the growth of each colony over time)
• Cell culture:
- Monitor cell growth (monitor the growth in each well over time)
• Imaging time: 4-5 minutes to verify clonality
• Laser wavelength: 650nm
• Max average power: 850uW
• Objective magnification: 10x
Data Storage:
• Whole plate image: appr 150MB
• Typical project of 14 days: approx 3GB of data

Testing performed by our in-house service team:
The Cell Metric VIPS + CLD 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 the operation and responsiveness of the user interface.
• We tested the plate carrier movement for precise positioning across the work area.
• We tested the camera functionality to ensure clear image capture for cell analysis.
• We verified the plate loader operation and temperature stability.
• We verified proper temperature control of the plate loader.
• We performed long axis max & short axis max test.
• We conducted 10 plate continual scan test.

Instrument Overview:
• Advanced Instruments Solentim Cell Metric VIPS delivers fast and reliable single-cell seeding.
• Built-in droplet imaging confirms single cells right at the start, reducing wasted wells and guesswork.
• Cell Metric CLD High Contrast Imager captures crisp day-0 whole-well pictures for clear documentation.
• Ongoing imaging tracks healthy colony growth, giving confidence in every clone you expand.
• The 10-plate heated stacker boosts throughput and saves hands-on time in the lab.
• Together, VIPS and Cell Metric CLD streamline cloning and help prove single-cell origin with ease.

Instrument Application:
• Generating clonal cell lines for biopharmaceutical production
• Documenting monoclonality for regulatory submissions
• Improving efficiency over limiting dilution cloning
• Tracking single-cell growth into stable colonies

The Key Features:
• Single-cell seeding into 96-well plates
• In-situ droplet imaging for cell verification
• Day-0 whole-well imaging at high contrast
• Timeline tracking of colony growth over days
• 10-plate heated stacker for higher throughput
• Clear proof of single-cell origin in workflows
