SINGLE-CELL PIPETTE ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SINGLE-CELL PIPETTE HANDLE AND SINGLE-CELL PIPETTE TIP

摘要

Apparatus for isolating an individual cell from a group of cells and transferring that isolated cell to a desired location, the apparatus comprising: a single-cell pipette tip, the single-cell pipette tip comprising: a structure having a distal end; a Y-shaped microchannel formed in the structure, the Y-shaped microchannel comprising a base microchannel, a first branch microchannel and a second branch microchannel, wherein the base microchannel extends to the distal end of the structure, the first branch microchannel is connectable to a first pressure channel, the second branch microchannel is connectable to a second pressure channel, and a single-cell trap is disposed in the base microchannel, distal to the convergence of the base microchannel with the first branch microchannel and the second branch microchannel.
