Selects, cultures, and captures single cells, with the capability to dose,
image, and perform multi-step molecular biology protocols on each cell
individually, and to export the reaction products.
Country-specific power cable to connect the Polaris instrument to the wall
socket
The instrument has a connection to protective earth through the
power cord provided by Fluidigm. Ensure that the electrical
receptacle provides an earth ground before connecting the
power cord.
Use only power cords provided by Fluidigm or power cords that meet the
minimum ratings of 250V/10A, 16AWG and a length not exceed 2 meters
(6 feet).
The Environmental Control Interface Plate (EC IP) rests above the IFC in the
tray and has temperature and humidity sensors.
Small packet for use with the EC IP
Holds a user-provided, two-chamber hemocytometer that allows you to
optimize the fluorescence levels of cell markers.
Connects your CDA system to the compressed air inlet on the back of the
Polaris instrument and connects the gas tank to the premixed gas inlet on
