Cells are a little easier to understand, thanks to improved technology developed by a team of researchers based in China. Using a method called Raman-Activated Cell Ejection and Sequencing (RACE-Seq),...

Widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the associated rise of "superbugs" is a major public health threat. A leading cause is the misuse or overuse of antibiotics due to the paucity of rapid as...

The world’s first instrument system for Raman-activated Cell Sorting and Sequencing (RACS-SEQ) was recently developed in East China’s Qingdao City, allowing functional identification, sorting and se...

Single-cells are the basic unit of cellular life function and evolution on earth. Accurate and high-throughput sorting of single-cells are key tools for mechanistic dissection of functional heterogene...

Microalgae are able to convert solar energy and carbon dioxide to energy storage compounds such as starch and lipids to produce food and biofuels. Therefore screening and engineering strains for highe...

Cellular heterogeneity that arises from stochastic expression of genes, proteins and metabolites is a fundamental principle of cell biology. However, mechanistic data are often masked in average value...

The most commonly used method for single cell isolation is Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) currently. However, it needs fluorescence labeling normally, and only obtains limited phenotypes, ...

The first Raman-Activated Cell Sorter (RACS) model instrument, called RACS-1, has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MoST)and now in full operation inQingdao,China. This...
