A Device for Isolation of Selected Single Adherent Cells

Figure 2

Schematic diagram of single cell isolation. (a) The microtube was adjusted to the appropriate tilt angle, and the display position of the microtube was marked on the computer screen. (b) The specific area to be targeted was identified prior to cell isolation and marked on the screen. (c) The target cell was moved to the marked area, and after the microtube was placed at the designated position, the target cell along with the hydrogel surface on which it is adherent was separated by rotating the microtube. (d) The cell in the microtube was gently pushed out using the medium (Pointed at by the arrow).
