EpiSep™ Slides

Rapid, Scalable and Cost-Effective Device for
Cell Sorting, Isolation, and Analysis

EpiSep™ Standard – used for imaging captured cells with an inverted fluorescent microscope

Antibody coated magnetic particles, and WaveSense’s patented XRC™ lateral flow separation technology, are utilized to sort and isolate sub-populations of cells that express a specific antigen within minutes. The homogeneous population of sorted cells is captured onto a small target area of ~0.6cm², which expedites identification of target cells. Cell inspection and imaging can be performed using manual or automated inverted fluorescent microscopes, confocal microscopes, and digital imaging systems.

EpiSep™ Multi-Purpose – removable cap to allow slide viewing with various microscope types, and to access captured cells. It can be used as a preparative technique for traditional flow cytometry or PCR.

Upgrade your Existing Cell-Based Methods

EpiSep™ allows for broad compatibility with existing magnetic bead and capture antibody procedures. Use any fluorescent based protocol including GFP, DAPI, MitoTracker, Cell Tracers (e.g.: calcein), and immunofuorescent cytochemistry methods that use FITC, Alexafluor, Streptavidin/Biotin, alkaline phospatase, and Horse Radish Peroxidase with EpiSep™.

• Reduce capital equipment and labor costs with low-cost and efficient point of entry.
• Scalable from personal bench top to high throughput screening (HTS). Perform single slide bench top applications, small manual batch testing, automated batch processing, or high throughput screening.
• Readily adaptable to automation. Standard microscope slide footprint integrates with many fluid handling platform and image analysis systems.
• Eliminate flow cytometers, microwell plates, separation columns, centrifugation and cell transfers by direct addition of sample, reagents, and cell wash solutions to a single self-contained EpiSep™.
• Laboratory safe. The device is a closed system, which permits the rapid and easy handling of specimens with minimal risk of infection to laboratory personnel while minimizing contamination of the sample.
