An Automated Single Cell Separation Technique to Improve Mixture Deconvolution

This webinar will provide an evaluation of the DEPArray™, a system that enables the identification, separation, and recovery of single cells or groups of cells from heterogeneous mixtures. The workflow described in this webinar will highlight the impact this instrument, with standard forensic processes, will have on processing sexual assault evidence and improving the success of single cell analyses.  We will present results of the NIJ funded study—An automated dielectrophoretic-based single cell separation technique to improve laboratory efficiency, mixture deconvolution and combat sample inhibition, (2015-NE-BX-K002)—and provide new data on the viability of single cell analysis.

This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on November 12, 2020.
