Abstract

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cell Microsystems is a start-up biotechnology company whose mission is to commercialize a cost effective platform for isolating and manipulating single, viable cells. The company's CellRaft(tm) technology is based on aunique cell array recently developed at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, and represents an ideal opportunity for the translation of an academic technology to the marketplace through the NIH sponsored SBIR partnership. In recognition of the growing market of single-cell genetic analysis, we will explore the feasibility of using the CellRaft technology as a sample handling tool for the analysis of single cells by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The CellRaft(tm) technology is unique inenabling individual cells to be identified by a variety of selection critera followed by isolation with extremely high viability, purity, and yield. In this Phase I SBIR proposal, we will optimize the CellRaft(tm) Array for single-cell isolation towar
