PALM SPRINGS, CA (January 28, 2008) -- Nanopoint Inc. announced today two new innovative cellTRAY® products, the cellTRAY Fluidics System for multi-day live cell experimentation and the cellTRAY Dish, an environmentally-friendly Petri dish-type container.

The novel microfluidic system, cellTRAY Fluidics System, enables up to 10 parallel experiments over multiple days utilizing a “lab-on-a-chip” type cellTRAY slide, a small fluidics controller and miniature incubator that fits on a microscope stage. The reusable cellTRAY Dish replaces Petri dishes for many slide-based experiments and significantly reduces laboratory bio-waste.

"Nanopoint continues to focus on innovative products that solve problems for research scientists and pharmaceutical companies," said Cathy Owen, president of Nanopoint, Inc. "Our product team is focused on developing innovative solutions for customers around the world, and we're proud to release our new cellTRAY Fluidics System for beta testing to stem cell researchers and scientists working with nanoparticles-based fluidic delivery and live cell imaging applications."

Nanopoint's cellTRAY Fluidics System Model CT-2000F creates new standards of precision and levels of efficiency for the study of small clusters of live cells, creates new approaches for multiple cell analysis and simultaneous processing required by new drug discovery applications and primary cell research. Nanopoint’s award-winning cellTRAY provides a microarray of etched wells and includes fluidic channels necessary for delivery of drug compounds, nanoparticles and long-term life supporting fluidics.

Now commercially available, the cellTRAY Dish was designed to contain the cellTRAY (or any standard microscope slide) during the cell loading, incubation, washing, and staining stages of an experiment. This autoclavable, reusable container is environmentally friendly and can easily replace single-use Petri dishes in many applications.
