Automated cell selection systems can simplify and improve the process of selecting or isolating specific cells from heterogeneous cell populations based on predetermined criteria using advanced technologies and algorithms to save time and increase efficiency in cell-based research and applications.

While the specific principles of operation may vary depending on the different systems, automated cell selection systems typically combine technologies such as imaging, flow cytometry, robotics, and specialized algorithms to automate the process of cell identification, screening, and isolation. The imaging function of an automated cell selection system is used to capture cell images. After being processed by complex algorithms, these imaging data can be used to identify and categorize cells based on specific criteria according to research. In addition, automated cell selection systems may also identify cells based on specific cell surface markers or other unique cell characteristics. Once the cells of interest are identified, the system will sort and separate the target cells.

Automated cell selection systems offer a number of significant advantages over traditional single-cell-related studies. The automated system greatly reduces the time and effort required for cell selection and enables high-throughput analysis and processing of large cell populations as they can process a large number of cells in a short period of time. The automated cell selection system utilizes advanced algorithms, imaging technologies, and precise sorting mechanisms, as well as standardized and repeatable processes, to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of cell selection and to ensure consistent results across experiments, which is particularly important in scientific research. In addition, these automated systems minimize the risk of contamination by reducing manual handling of cells, ensuring sterile conditions, and employing closed systems.

Automated cell selection systems have a wide range of applications in various areas of research, diagnostics, and therapeutic development. Cell line development is one of the most common applications of these automated systems, which are essential for recombinant protein production and monoclonal antibody production. Automated cell selection systems also play a critical role in stem cell research by isolating and enriching specific stem cell populations, which are important in the study of stem cell differentiation, characterization, and development of regenerative medicine therapies. In addition, automated cell selection systems are widely used in immunology and cancer research to study specific immune responses and immune cell function, and to develop immunotherapies.
